Quick question - For decorative purposes, I wanted to use a rigid chrome supply line to connect my bath faucet to the valves. The valve side goes on by compression, which is fine. Problem is, I couldn't find a nut to connect to the faucet side.
The tube is called "3/8 inch O.D. Tube x 20 in. Faucet Riser". See pic below.
The salesman tried to sell me 1/2" nuts which held on to the nosepiece perfectly, but of course, was too small to screw in to the faucet. Alternatively, 5/8" nuts screwed into the bottom of the faucet, but slipped right over the nosepiece. What am I supposed to use? I know this is probably a simple question, but I've always used those braided hoses which were self explanatory.
Also, do I need any type of rubber washer with this supply line? Here's a pic:
