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.

What they say

Hide

cannipex cobras and just wiggle this back and forth while gently pulling out I can never get this to do it. But what I was talking about with this corrugated it's good for really about one bend you put it in place you hopefully don't have to mess with it. If you look right here this is super thin copper. Notice I got gloves on because that's probably pee. It doesn't take much to break this out just a couple of bends and you see that and then it just comes apart.
