Installing bathroom vanity faucet
I always used sweat connections to supply tubes.
Now when i go to Home Depot they push flexible hose 's with compression connectors. They will make the job alot easier.but how long will they last without leaks ? Are they safe to use ? |

I have never seen a sweat connection from the shutoff valve to the faucet, not even on my MIL's 1920 house. Must be before my time. The pros use copper tubing but it still have compression fittings at both ends, not soldered. Those copper tubing is a pain in the ass when changing out fixtures and often ended up replacing it with flex lines anyway. Now when i go to Home Depot they push flexible hose 's with compression connectors. Those flexible hoses were around for decades.
