I have a question about the hose that runs from the water inlet pipe to the toilet tank. Presently have a plastic type hose that you pull/push on the valve at the bottom to turn on/off the water to the toilet. There is a leak in this host on the toilet side of the shut off valve. The entire hose needs to be replaced. I bought a hose with the traditional type of shut off (a handle that turns). On the part that attaches to the water pipe from the wall it has threads that appear to screw on to the pipe.

The present hose has a plastic cover over the pipe so I can not tell if the pipe is threaded. Before I shut off the water and remove the present hose I would like to make sure the pipe is threaded.

I am a real newby in this area though I have replaced other parts of the toilet without too much trouble.

Thanks in advance
Ralph:confused:

Could you rephase the question? The shut off is called a Angle stop. The line from the angle stop to the tank is called the supply. Why are you replacing the angle stop if all that's wrong is a leak at the supply/tank connection?

The supply is all one piece. Unfortunately, I am not at home right now so I can't take a picture. You can't remove the supply from the angle stop. The entire hose and angle stop need to be replaced. I have a new angle stop that is threaded on the inside and a supply that screws in to the angle stop. What I am wondering, is the pipe coming out of the wall, is it threaded. I can't tell without removing the present angle stop and supply. From my recollection, the pipe coming out of the wall looks to be copper, though I am not positive about this. I will take a picture when I get home and maybe that will be helpful.

Thanks for your help.

I'll be waiting to see what you have. Tom

I am attaching a picture of the one piece Angle Stop and Supply.
Also How do I remove this from the water pipe?

This is ACCOR, one piece angle stop & water supply. They make them in Female Thread or Push On types.

Close water to the house. Disconnect water supply from toilet tank. Put your hand on angle stop and try to turn it clock wise. See if it spins around the pipe it that direction. If positive, than it is Push On type angle stop. It operates on same principle as SharkBite fittings. Go to Home Depot, purchase 1/2" orange Removal Ring, slip that ring over the copper pipe and behind the valve and pull towards you. Angle stop will slide out from the pipe.

If angle stop feels solid and won't move to the right at all than you have Female Thread angle stop. It is screwed over Male Adaptor. Unscrew it in counter clock wise motion.

BrassCraft now sells in Home Depot brass/chrome Push On angle stops. They come in 1/2" COMP x 3/8" COMP size. Get one of those. Also buy new flexible, ss, braided toilet supply: 3/8" COMP x 7/8" BC x 12".

Angle stop just slips over the pipe. No tools needed here. You will need small channel locks to tighten up water supply line. You can do it all yourself. If you need help, come back...

Let me know how you did...

Here is the sharkbite Disconnect, see the Image, Thanks.

Not surprised, the way the throw up these houses it's a miracle anything is done correctly. The baseboard in the entire house is installed that way. :rolleyes:

Looking closer on the contour of the "baseboard" it even appears to be door casing, not baseboard...

Wanted to let you know how it went. I purchased the Brass Craft 1/4 turn Push On Angle stop and Supply. Had a time removing the cover from the water shut off but finally succeeded, then couldn't shut off the water. Had to go back to Lowe's and purchase a water shut off tool. Once I had the water shut off every thing else went smoothly. Took <1 minute to replace the angle stop. Works Great! Thanks much for every one's assistance.:D

Thanks for keeping us in the loop and am glad that your problem is resolved, Good Luck.

I bought the Sharkbite orange removal ring, but it doesn't seem to help remove the Accor push-on valve when I pull on it. Am I doing something wrong. There are no instructions on how to use it.

Click on the link below and watch the clip will show how to use it.

ACCOR designed its patented PUSHON technology
To overcome common problems associated with
Compression style valves. The unique O-ring design
Of Flow Tite eliminates packing seal leaks, and compression
Problems. The internal stainless steel
Gripper ring mechanically attaches to the pipe without
Tools, and is tested to over 1000 psi.

The valves and couplings are removable by twisting off counterclockwise,
And are reusable.

So you need to disconnect the supply line twist counter clockwise and pull it will come off, good luck.

Ahh, I have the Accor valve, not Sharkbite. I tried pulling and twisting counter-clockwise and it wouldn't budge. I finally bought a medium sized pipe cutter and cut through the center of the large plastic section of the valve and it fell apart.

Thanks for the update, now that you got the Accor valve removed I would suggest to install a compression type angle valve see the image below, Thanks.
