Hi
I purchased a bidet attachement for the toilet.
The bidet comes with a valve that must be attached to the water
input. The instructions say that you must have a flexible tube type
pipe that goes from the water lead to the tank, and I do not.
Mine has a metal pipe, but I'm wondering if it can be easily replaced
by a flexible tube.
Please see the pic, it looks lile this metal pipe can be unscrewed
near the valve.
Or does this call for a plumber?
Thanks

If you can screw and unscrew the pipe using pliers, you will be fine.
Like the earlier poster said, get the right-sized ends. Best thing to
do is shut the water off, remove the existing pipe and take it with
you to your hardware store and have them pick out the right
replacement. Be SURE to get one with stainless steel braid on the
outside to reduce the chances of a burst pipe.

And leave a pan under the valve while you are gone. Many old valves leak a bit.
