Hello,

My braided line from the tank to the wall is leaking at the base of the tank. I drained all of the water and attempted to tighten the nut at the base of the tank. Filled the tank, still a leak. This line is 4 months old. Water is still off and toilet drained entirely until fixed.

Any advice to save me a service call?

Thank you so much!

Fill the toilet tank check the leak closely see if it leaks from the supply line or the base of the fill valve, if it is from the base of the fill valve tightened that nut.

If it leaking from the supply line close the angle valve flush the toilet place a towel under the tank disconnect the supply line see if the black gasket is present if it is remove and turn it over install connect the line and see if it is fixed, if no gasket you need to get one, if this will not help replace the supply line they are cheap, Good luck.
