Would you could you.
Drink pink ink with a jink?
It would be hard, don’t you think?
Just install your toilets with a kink!

    That isn’t a kink, it’s a clean loop and that line should be absolutely fine.

    This is what a proper kink looks like. The walls of the hose touch and prevent the flow of water.

    The real crime is the half ass paint job.

      And what did these poor hoses look like before kinking like that oh Mr Internet hero corrector Sr!?

        Before they kinked someone was likely moving or yanking on the garden hose.

        Also, garden hoses are not braided steel. You would need to aggressively twist a toilet’s feed line to kink.

        This thing is fine. I’ve installed a ton of toilets and sinks, and I have looping water lines that have looked like this for decades and worked just fine.

        ok. Just looks nothing like an actual kink from these angles since it all appears round.

        My initial thoghts on a kink in braided hose

          Thank you! Kinks can be deceiving.

      Fine, but there’s a kink on that curl.

      Its not terrible but I would expect better. Over time the hose will leak or cause the valve or fittings to leak. It sets my plumber senses tingling.

    Just needs a shorter hose, maybe a valve replacement cause that type sucks.

    Is that fecal material on that though?

      I don’t think so. I think its puddy. But agree on the comments. I hope its puddy. I’m at a hotel room, I hope its puddy!

    That valve is going to fail the first time someone needs to use it.
