I notice that my sink drain is a little difficult to open and close.
I looked underneath and saw the water line was run above the lever where the drain opens and closes…essentially the line is getting pushed by the little metal bar each time the sink is opened and closed since the metal bar goes up each time I push it.
My home is still under warranty and I think I can ask the plumber to run the line underneath so it’s not making contact…but the line has a little “impression/dent” in it from constantly being against that metal drain line connector.
1. Will simply running the existing line underneath be a fine fix?
2. Should I be concerned about the slight “dent” in the existing water line from pressing against the drain lever? Are those lines pretty tough or should I ask for it to be replaced?
3. How difficult would that push on connector/water line to be replaced? I don’t have much PEX sticking out the wall and from what I’ve read, the water line can’t be replaced and the whole connector does.
