Ok so this is where I'm at, hoping some of you friendly experts out there can help me. I had to install a new toilet in one of the bathrooms in my mobile home, that was easy and it's done. Keep in mind I'm not the greatest at home improvement projects of any kind, but I do the best I can and call for help when I feel I'm in over my head.
Anyhow the problem I've run into is this, the water supply line which is sadly polybutylene is now to short and won't reach the new toilet. It lines up great, but simply won't reach. Is there an easy way to extend this? And if not, how can I go about just replacing the valve, and adding a steel braided line to run from the new valve to the toilet?
This YouTube video shows exactly what I would need to do in terms of replacing the valve and adding a new line, but it doesn't say which size valve I use and if the sleeve he uses comes with the valve, so this beginner is lost. I'd rather just extend it temporarily and replace the valve later, but I know that might not be possible.
Picture is attached, and I'm a beginner with stuff like this so I'd appreciate explanations in easy terms.
