I have a double sink vanity with an open bottom up against an exterior wall, and I'm trying to find a way to route the braided flex lines up through the center portion of the vanity from angle stops located in the floor there. It looks like it will work with the exception of one turn that may be a little too tight. As such, is there any problem with using a 3/8" 90 degree elbow with these flex lines? I'm assuming this would be similar to the elbows on some dishwasher kits?

Nobody knew plumbing could be so complicated. You can use 90's on that. I say this all the time. Believe me.

CountryBumpkin, this is just the flexible portion of the water service after the angle stop. My main water system in the house is 1/2".

Ok, so it sounds like I can just use the 3/8" elbow with compression connectors on both ends in conjunction with the rubber seal connectors from the flex lines.

Absolutely.
I was thinking that 1/2" line to the fixtures were more typical, and I just wanted you to be sure of the size before you went out and bought your fittings.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
