Title: water supply for toilet
Post by: craneman on May 19, 2021, 01:23:24 pm
I have developed a leak in the elbow that connects to the toilet. The elbow is cracked. Not a trip breaker as the leak is small and the water pump can be left off with only the icemaker needing to be turned off. If anyone has replaced this elbow and has info I might do the repair on the road instead of waiting to get home. Picture of the elbow below

I would go with what TGordon mentioned. I used a sharkbite when I was putting in my recirculation system in a place
where I couldn't get at it with the clamp tool.

That isn't the fitting I was talking about. Those are the ones I usually use but you need the clamp tool.
The ones I was talking about they just push on. They are really easy too use and you don't need
any tool to put them on but they cost way more. I only used one as it because impossible to use the
clamp in the tight place.
