I installed a new bathroom sink faucet and the existing Hot supply line connected fine, but I could not get the Cold supply line to screw in to the faucet end. So I bought a new supply line and removed the old one (both are 1/2 inch lines). I connected the one end to the faucet, but can not get the other end to attach to the shut-off valve.
I have not replaced supply lines before so I'm not sure what the shut-off valve connection should look like, but as you see in my first picture, there is a black rubber gasket or something on the shut off valve connection. I don't know if that belongs there, or if it came out of the old supply line. I want to make sure before I try to remove it. The 2nd picture are the two ends of the supply line that I removed. The end on the left side of the photo is the end that was connected to the shut-off valve and it does not have a black rubber part in it like the end on the right which was the end connected to the old faucet.
