I do not recommend going to home depot they allow raciest mexicans to become managers. I worked at home depot for 4 years doing great all my reviews were great. The store mgr and mgrs liked me because I work hard.Then we got this store mgr from Mexico and off of a sudden I was getting written up right and left for doing nothing wrong. All of the white employes started getting fired and mexicans were being hired as the replacements.I got fired and told my story to unemployment &they sided with me
my water supply lines are copper, and I can't get the cold water supply line to separate from the faucet assembly, or the shut-off valve for that matter. How do I disconnect the copper pipe? I've removed the screws but its won't separate. The hot water line did't give me any trouble.
You really shouldn't use teflon tape when installing compression hoses...it could make it difficult/impossible for you to tighten the nut enough to make the compression fitting snug.
@Womaaahn I've never found a problem when using Teflon Tape around the threading. If there is, you probably used too much or didn't stretch it out enough. The teflon allows your water tight seal for the water lines.
But the whole point of compression hoses is that you don't need teflon tape. I did a great deal of research online, plus watching DIY shows before I replaced my hoses and never used teflon tape at all and everything is fine. I've only used teflon tape with non-compression water connections, like the shower head.
Everything went well on my end for being the first time dealing with it. Except, that I could not find anywhere nor here details into how really to get that rubber washer through that hole. I followed my manual instructions. Yet, I find it impossible to get it in. I give up. I will finally call a plumber to install me the whole thing. I wanted to challenge myself for the first time ever doing this type of work. hmmm. I accept my defeat. ohhhhhhhhhh.
How did you break a pipe? Did you tighten something too much? I plan to do this also, but after reading your post I would like to know what not to do. Thanks for sharing.

Most faucets are rusted and frozen together. Getting the old one off is the hard part.

Now I see why my faucet has a leak. It is because I have no gasket underneath.
Thanks
