Re: Miscelaneous stainless steel replacement pipes??

[Kim Johnson <kjohnson@pclink.com>]

Hello Marc,

I replaced mine with a few brass fittings, a die and a stainless braided

faucet supply hose all from the Home Depot store. Might have spent about

$20.00-$25.00. I was really PISSED OFF at the quote from the dealer for
$65.00
for a bent tube (that was the OEM replacement).

I think this was a good repair, have been running it for 1-2 years.
