Installing A New 1/4 Turn Style Valve In Your House #diy #helpingothers #plumbing

What happens here

With the new valve installed, connect a braided flexible supply line to the valve. First, hand-tighten the connection. Once hand-tight, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connection no more than one full turn. Overtightening can damage the washer inside the supply line or strip the threads, leading to leaks.

Goal: Attach the water supply line to the new valve.

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Wrench — Final tightening of the supply line connection
  • Braided Flexible Supply Line — Connecting the valve to the fixture (e.g., faucet or toilet)

What they say

Hide

a little mega lock on. You'll feel it start to tighten and get nice and hooked up there. This valve comes with a 3-8 nut and feral, but we are going to be hooking this back up with a braided flex supply line hand tight at no more than one full turn afterwards. Turn the water back on, give it a test. We're back in business. That is how you change out the old multi turn style valve and install a quarter turn.
