What happens here

Inspect the braided flex supply lines that connect to the faucet for signs of wear and degradation. Look for fraying, bubbling, or discoloration of the metallic braiding. The video specifically points out areas where the braiding is breaking down and appears to be bubbling, indicating the inner rubber hose may be deteriorating, posing a significant risk of bursting and causing a major flood.

Goal: Identify degradation in braided flex supply lines.
