Toilet Water Supply Line Replacement

Introdução

This replacement guide will demonstrate step-by-step how to replace the water supply line for your toilet.

Leaks or faulty water lines can cause costly damage to your home. It is best to replace any hardware concerns before they disrupt the functionality of your household. Most manufactures suggest to replace hardware every four to five years or earlier if needed.

Before using this guide, inspect the toilet and turn the water shut off valve to restrict the flow of water as shown in step 1.
