Demonstrate Corrugated Pipe Fragility

Toilet shut off valves that you should always change out! #diy #helpingothers #plumbing
What happens here
Building on the initial warning, the presenter provides a clear visual demonstration of why corrugated pipes are so fragile. Taking a segment of a corrugated supply line, the presenter repeatedly bends it back and forth with gloved hands. The video explicitly shows that the pipe is made of "super thin copper." After only a few bending cycles, the material quickly fatigues, forming visible cracks, and then completely breaks apart. This vivid demonstration reinforces the message that these pipes are not designed for repeated manipulation and are prone to failure if bent more than their initial installation. The presenter also makes a lighthearted remark about wearing gloves due to the nature of toilet plumbing ("that's probably pee").
Goal: Visually confirm the structural weakness of corrugated supply lines.
