Recently I bought an older home. I ripped the kitchen out, and
put shut off valves in the kitchen. Then I moved to the
bathroom, to put a shut off valve on the toilet. Messed up with
fittings and it leaked. Strange thing is it's hot water!! Now I
can trace the cold water from the kitchen to the toilet. It is
the same pipe, so what the heck is going on?   03:56AM |

touch the pipe at various points along the way back to the
kitchen, see at what point it becomes hot. That will help you
determine the problem. If you flush the toilet a couple of times
in a row, is the water in the tank hot or just warm? If it's
just slightly warm, I'd say it's getting warmed along the way.
But if it's hot, then the plumbing is wrong.   06:16PM |

help- The hot water line must be right next to cold and it had
sat for a while. Definately cold water to
