Have there been Issues with the tubing/valve. My home was built in 2004.
I know my toilets have the same valves and connected tubing
The same thing happened to us. The installer then changed out the valve right then and there... and charged us. I had never seen those types of push/pull valves until we moved down here. On my bucket list is to have a plumber replace all of them in the house. The ones the developer put in are very cheap and look like they could break off with one pull.
