toilet water supply hose replacement
Just another Sunday project. Toilet was running so I easily replaced the flush mechanism, reattached the supply hose to the underside of the tank and all seemed fine
But..
A slow slow drip now began coming from the crimping at the bottom end of the supply hose where it attaches to the wall shut off. Now this is not the usual hose with an easily removable nut. There doesn't seem to be any nut rather it is crimped onto the valve. I tried turning it to see if it were threaded, but no change or evidence of threading. I am reluctant to pull as it might pull the valve thru the wall. It is definitely leaking from this lower crimping not traveling down from the tank above.
What is the next step?
