Flexible supply lines make fixture connections easy and forgiving, but they do wear out. Here is the Harlingen guide.
The types
Braided stainless lines last longer than older plastic or plain rubber lines.
The install
Hand-tight plus a quarter turn is usually enough; over-tightening crushes the gasket.
The life
Replace supply lines every decade or when they show cracks or corrosion.
The call
Protect the cabinets from a burst. Call 888-217-3585 and Harlingen Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Harlingen pro.
