Toilet water supply hose

[Skrider]

I just finished installing my toilet in the basement bathroom and thank you for all the useful info on your forum.

Will the water supply be issue that it has this much of a bend? It's fine right now but do you think the hose will fail over time? I cut the pex at the same distance as the toilet fill valve. Was that a mistake? Should I cut back shorter?

I think I attached a photo. Thanks.

What material is the hose made out of? Is it marketed as flexible?

Yes, it is braided and is flexible. I'm just not sure if that is too much of a bend.

Are you for real?

It looks fine.

Thanks for the reassurance. On to the next project...thought I could undo a leaky hot water tank drain valve. After I broke that I found out I need a new hot water tank!

That's fine then.

YOU needed a new water heater. I, and most plumbers, would have just removed the stub and installed a new valve, which would have been a LOT less expensive.
