I bought a new supply line recently, and there were different quality brands

Maybe we ought to buy the better or best.

I think in my case it was just a cheaply made piece. The line itself didn't
explode, the end blew out of the fitting that screwed on to the bottom of
the tank. If I had put the line on with a wrench or pliers I'd take the
blame. But, I only put it on by hand and I didn't put the force to it. It
worked fine for about 2 years I guess it was and then it started dripping
one day. The next day it came apart. I replaced it with the braided style
this time. I normally carry a couple of the braided lines in my plumbing
box but for some reason I didn't have one handy when I replaced the toilet.

Lucky for us I heard it pop and while it's hard to turn off the shut off
while you're being hosed with cold water, I was able to clean up the mess
before any damage.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] toilet supply line exploded

2010-01-06 Thread Tom Hodges

Lenny, I have been using the braided toilet fill hoses for years, on about
35 toilets on rental property and have never experienced a rupture.  I am
referring to the hoses, which are sold practically everywhere, including
Lowes and Home Depot.  These are actually rubber or man made flexible
polymer hoses, which are covered with a stainless steel braid, to help keep
the hose from ballooning and rupturing.  They are available in quite a
variety of hose length sizes as well as different sizes at the valve fitting
end, depending on which size valve you may have.  While on the subject of
valves, I would also recommend the ball valves, instead of the usual globe
type valves that have been used for years.  The ball valves turn on an off
with a quarter turn and are much less prone to leaking at the stem.  If the
type of hose you were using is the one described above, and it ruptured, you
must havgotten a hold of one with a serious factory defect or one that was
damaged somehow.

when it happened. If it would have happened when they were at work I don't
think they would have a ceiling to repaint and patch. One of the drywall
seams actually washed out.
I am wondering if I should replace my flex lines. They are older than
hers.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] toilet supply line exploded

The advantage is supposed to be flexibility. The line won't kink and you only
have to connect on 1 end and then it's easy to manipulate the fitting into
place on the other end.

The braided lines are also flexible but between twice and 3 times the price.
But the braided lines are designed for high pressure and I've not heard of one
failing yet.
