We had to replace our toilet due to a crack in the tank. The supply line an valve do not seem to be compression. Pic attached of valve. The valve is stuck on galv. Is there an adapter I can buy? The valve looks almost like gas style?
Picture is too dark and blurry to see how and what it is connected to.
But the outlet looks like common 3/8 compression outlet.
Hard to see on my phone.
If you say the supply piping is galvanized, the old valve should unscrew counter clockwise.
You need to hold the galvanized pipe still with a second wrench, resisting it from unscrewing, by pushing the opposite way as the valve is unscrewing.
It's a 1/2". Yes, toilet supply cutoff to fill valve. Not compression, weird. It looks like a gas type connection with the nipple. I'll see about getting a better picture. The galv pipe looks dated. I just don't want to snap it behind the wall.
No. Looked like a normal hose 1/2" to 7/8" with flat, non-conical gaskets. It's been on there forever with no leaks, but now it leaks since I jacked with it.
I'll give it a shot! I thought a Shark fitting until I remembered it was galv. I was really excited for a second. I'll let you know. Appreciate the help!
The 19th at the earliest. Only one restroom. Might not have a wife by then. Lol! That's Wednesday thru Friday, hell I'll order it as a backup plan. The other off Amazon should be here tomorrow. Thanks again for the research and time!
Others on here might disagree, but I would consider wrapping the shutoff male flare threads with a few wraps of teflon tape, and putting a thin layer of teflon dope on the male flare tip, because it looks kind of beat up.
