| Nov 15, 2022 at 19:32 | comment | added | Glen Yates | I think you just need to use a little more force/finesse to get the supply line to line up correctly with the t valve, so as not to cross thread it. Is there enough length to put a full 360 degree loop in it? If you get a longer one that is what you will have to do. | |

| Nov 15, 2022 at 19:02 | comment | added | HoneyDo | Get a new one. It shouldn't be that hard to bend. Hard to tell length from the pic but you could probably use a shorter one requiring less bending. I'll post all this as an answer. | |
| Nov 15, 2022 at 18:25 | comment | added | rsn | @HoneyDo no matter how much I try holding down the supply hose, it does not want to bend and hence results in cross threading. Hence I thought of getting a hose extension so I can bend it at will without having to worry about damaging the original supply line. | |
| Nov 15, 2022 at 18:13 | comment | added | HoneyDo | Typically you would screw the T valve unto the tank first - usually easier that way. The mounting nut on the flexible supply line should turn easily. Check it before screwing it on. An old one may have corrosion. It sounds as if you may be cross-threading the mounting nut onto the tee valve. Make sure it's going on straight or you may damage the threads. You might want to buy a new supply line of the correct length and try that. | |
