Hi, My line has separated at the back of the toilet. It looks like it was previously glued on (bought this used a few years ago) Is gluing the best way to repair it? See photo. Thanks!
@Beckblaze9 same thing happened to us. We did a simple valve assembly replacement. Either way (see response to your toilet replacement inquiry) requires removal of the toilet.
For prevention in areas where freezing can be an issue, I suggest flushing the toilet line with antifreeze after blowing out the lines. First, install a shutoff valve on your toilet's water supply line. Then you can push antifreeze through it. For flushing, I keep a pair of short hoses to temporarily attach to each side of the water pump, connecting the output side to the toilet line & input side in the jug of antifreeze. This also takes care of winterizing the pump, and I leave these short hoses on until spring dewinterizing.

I was preparing for a trip yesterday and discovered precisely this issue with my 2015 T@B S-Maxx. Seems like this part could be redesigned to avoid this issue, but maybe that's not going to happen at this point.
Luckily, a dealer 30 minutes from here has two valve kits in stock. 3X the price of you-know-where, but when you need it, you need it!
Thanks for this thread. The information on this forum is just invaluable.
