Today I installed a bidet seat attachment to the toilet, and the supply line is giving me fits.
There is a T fitting that attaches to the tailpiece of the flush valve to split off the line to the bidet seat, and my supply line and shutoff comes up out of the floor, not the wall. The normal 12” line doesn’t fit easily anymore.
I’m worried the fairly sharp S curve I need to make with the braided line is putting too much side force on the end fittings and plastic flush valve tailpiece. I tried a longer line, but that’s not much better.
What do people who know more about plumbing than me think?

Instead of an "S" make a loop , maybe with the longer line?

I have a looped supply line in the basement bathroom. The distance between the valve on the wall and the toilet inlet is ridiculously short.

This is recommended when you purchase a supply line.

^ What Laker said!
Plus....your wife will love the bidet. And you might like it more than you thought you would.

Never mind.... I thought this was going to be about toilet supply issues like not being able to get one...

Thanks, guys. I think a big loop is the answer, but I’ll need to track down an extra long one - the 18” I picked up is too short to loop. A 12” fits correctly when you don’t have the splitter.
