Help with rigid toilet water supply line

Rose95 · May 5, 2023

Hello

I am hoping someone can help or point me somewhere.

I need to replace the toilet water supply line (the orange nut cracked on old one) but the flexible stainless steel ones won’t work because they are all too long. I don’t have enough room between the toilet fill valve pipe and the top of the stop valve to fit these long flexible lines.

I need a rigid supply line as in the picture I’ve attached.

As you can see I have about 2 inches of space and it’s completely straight so I can’t bend and fit the flexible lines. And I can’t find one thats only 2 inches long.

Does anyone know where I can find this type of rigid supply line? The orange coupling nut and the nut at the bottom don’t come off. It’s one piece. I’ve been to multiple hardware stores and have been searching online for days.

Could I possibly have one made somewhere?

I am not sure what to do.

I have tried to fit some other different coupling nuts but it still leaks.

I can’t really afford a plumber to repair this as it seems the entire pipe in the wall would have to be moved around.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

This pic is older. I have already replaced the cracked fill valve nut

If it were me, I would rotate the valve and use a braided supply line long enough to get a good bend.

That looks like a standard toilet nut,I think 7/8", it wouldn't make sense if its all one peice what brand is the toilet the name should be behind d the seat, your first pic shows that the supply and the fill valves are out, so you should be able to replace the fill valves and cut a new chrome supply to fit the new fill valve

I was able to find someone to cut a rigid supply line. Found what I think is the same size nuts and the compression sleeve to keep it together.

I am starting to think they aren’t even sold put together.

It worked. No more leaking.

Just took sometime finding the same parts and getting the supply line cut to size.

Hopefully I won’t be back saying it’s leaking again.

Thanks for the responses.

If anything hope this quick fix helps someone in the future
