We had to replace our water supply line on our toilet as it broke.
When I went to Home Depot they now only sell 12" lines. I installed
it and the wife thinks it looks stupid as its all bent because its too
long. I cannot find anyone that sells these lines in length of 9".
I was told at home depot that they no longer make 9" water supply
lines, only 12" and longer. Does anyone know where I can get a
standard 9" water supply line for a toilet ? I'm looking for 9"
length by 1/2" round.
Thanks.

1. You can make your own - copper tubing comes in any length.
2. Is moving the toilet over, say, three inches possible?

Alternatives:

Use a 12" but rotate the angle stop so the supply connects at 8
o'clock or 4 instead of 12 o'clock

Tell the wife she'll get used to it

When in doubt of any plumbing or electrical work, I stay very far away from
the borg. Ace Hardware in Marble Falls has knowable people and

the stock to do about any repair/upgrade. More parts and pieces then you
can shake a stick at. Puts the big box stores to shame. Prices aren't the
best in town, but price isn't everything. Doing it right the first time is.

Best sources in Ottawa, Canada, seem to be:
1. The Electrical and Plumbing Store, Ogilvie Rd.
2. Mondeau plumbing supply (on a side road off Cyrville.)

The solution many be to make it even longer and loop it.

IMO it's often better because the strain of a connection angle at either
end is relieved making it more reliable.

"Hubert! The toilet's stopped up again!" said Esmeralda
Snark in a voice
that had not endeared her to seven husbands over the last
ten years.

Hubert grunted, and slightly lowered the news paper he had
been reading. "Spng." he said out of the left side of his
mouth. The right side chomping on a very stale cigar.

"Hubert, how many times have I told you to take that damn
cigar out of your mouth when you talk to me?"

Hubert did that. He took his cigar, tapped the one and a
half inch ash off the end, into her cereal bowl, and then
took a deep breath. This threw him into a coughing spasm.
When his lungs cleared, and the red lightened up from in
front of his eyes, he said a bit more clearly:

"So plunge it, darling!". Hubert knew this would not make
him popular. But, Esmerelda had some of the most odorous
defectation he'd ever been near. He wasn't eager to go in
there. Not without a gas mask and a fume hood.

Good. Try improving on this one:

"The senator must have tied on a real bender last night," said Sheriff
Doppelganger. "He left the party about midnight and his car was found this
morning in the smokestack of a British aircraft carrier in the Formosa
Straits."

Still spins correctly.

Don't drink the water though.

More than once I've seen my old dog stagger out after a bout of drinking...

TDD

Well if you loop & twist it just right, the water will flush in the
opposite direction.
