okay you're guilty you tried to be a
0:08
plumber this past weekend you went ahead
0:10
and put in a new toilet ballcock maybe
0:12
it was a bathroom sink faucet or a
0:14
kitchen faucet you went to turn on the
0:16
water at the supply cut off Valves and
0:19
what happened you had a leak right where
0:21
the supply tube goes into the valve it's
0:23
very very common here's what usually
0:26
goes wrong if you happen to use the
0:28
old-fashioned Chrome Chrome metal soft
0:31
copper Supply tubes you can get into a
0:32
lot of trouble and here's why those
0:34
things are very finicky if you don't
0:36
have the metal bent just right when it
0:38
goes into the valve it'll go in at a
0:41
slight angle and when you try to tighten
0:42
the nut there's this very very small
0:45
crack where the water leaks from what I
0:48
suggest that you use especially if
0:50
you've got a cabinet that'll hide the
0:51
supply tube why not go with one of the
0:53
plastic Supply tubes these are very
0:56
flexible they tend to self seat
0:58
themselves and align them El perfectly
1:00
in the supply valve and almost leak free
1:05
performance each and every time remember
1:08
if you want to go ahead and get
1:10
fittings at your faucets or at the
1:12
toilet supply valves make sure that the
1:15
supply tube fits straight into the valve
1:18
do that and you're going to have a great
1:19
job if you want to discover more Home
