Last night one of the hoses on my dishwasher burst and I had to mop up a mess on the kitchen floor. It's the hose that transports water from the dishwasher inlet valve to the spray arm. I am going to cap off the angle stop valve outlet to the dishwasher. I'm not going to use the dishwasher anymore. But I still want the dishwasher to be in full working order for when I sell the house one day. A couple important questions. 1. I have a 3/8 inch threaded cap for the angle stop valve outlet. Do I use teflon on the angle stop threads.......rubber washer/O-Ring to prevent leaks.....or nothing? Which is better? 2. That hose that needs to be replaced in the photo is push-on type. Can I cut the threaded fittings off a reinforced internally braided hose and just clamp it on?

I've got an older toilet with a huge flush capacity so I'm trying to keep it rather than replacing it with a newer lower capacity toilet. Problem is it's as old as the hills and the oval shaped rubber gasket between the tank and base has aged and water now leaks at that connection point when it's flushed. I'm guessing what I need to fix the issue is some kind of flexible adhesive that bonds to ceramic. I believe where the two make contact the bottom is glazed and the tank isn't...so the adhesive would need to stick to both glazed and non-glazed ceramic. Any suggestion for what kind of gasket maker adhesive to use? or advice in general on how to get this done? Thanks
