While I'm doing another plumbing project, I'd like to install flexible lines to the valve of my water softener. The original installation had 3/4 copper coming from the ceiling to a 90 into the valve. There was no support installed and eventually the plastic valve cracked and I needed to replace it. I've since adjusted the copper height (there was tension released when I disconnected the valve!) and added support to the cooper at the ceiling so everything slides together nicely.
Seems the best way to take advantage of flexible lines would be to have them come in from the sides so they could flex both vertically and horizontally but I don't want a kluge of plumbing to do this.
I may turn the water softener 90 degrees to save some floor space so that may solve the problem but if I don't rotate the unit how best to install flexible lines? I searched the forums but didn't see any pictures of flexible lines installed.
Thanks.
