I'm installing the 550 with the extension kit THU9202 where the Toto shutoff valve sits outside the 550 unit instead of behind it.
I took off the old water shut off valve (1/2" copper pipe with a compression ring and nut), and noticed that the threads on the Toto pipe are larger/coarser. It had a Brass Craft multiturn 1/2" in valve on it. See picture.
Will I get lucky, and HD or Lowes carry a piece of 1/2" pipe that has the smaller/finer threads on the old shutoff valve on one side, and the larger/coarser Toto pipe threads on the other side?
That way I can simply thread the short piece of pipe into the old compression ring/nut on the wall side, and the Toto shutoff valve on the other side.
The other "easy" way would be to remove the compression ring (I have the remover tool), and put a Sharkbite 1/2" male threaded connector on it.
I've seen on Youtube that this threads into the Toto valve.
Thanks!
