So I have a leak on a bathroom faucet. The leak was at the connection of the shut off valve and the water line going to the faucet.
I had to cut about an inch off the line on the faucet to get the compression nut and ring off but now it is too short to reach the valve and this crappy faucet has the water lines fixed to it so I can't just get a longer one on the faucet.
So what's the fix for this? I don't think I can extend the lines from the faucet can I?
The copper pipe coming up from the basement has a drop ear soldered on there so I could cut that pipe, extend it, then put a new drop ear on there.
In the basement there is PEX connected to the copper pipe going up to the bathroom. Probably the best thing would be put a longer piece of copper on the PEX but I don't have the tool for that. I could replace the faucet too I guess but that would be two faucets so they would match since it's a double vanity.
