Ok, so I'm still decoding this (remember how badly I suck at the lingo.)
I have a steel braided supply line, but the gasketed center section protrudes quite a bit (as compared to the plastic fitting in the original post). The fitting isn't very deep and the threads on the valve don't go all the way to the tip of the male connector. That leaves very, very little play for the threads to grip.
I'm on my 2nd valve because I stripped the first with a similar connection on my first try. (Though some of that was pure laziness, trying to install without removing the valve.) Still, even with a new valve in hand, I can't get much thread purchase with my braided hose.
That's why I'm trying to identify exactly what I'd call that connector in image #1. It is sufficiently deep to get purchase and it doesn't protrude in the center. (I can actually attach that to my slightly stripped first valve).
Am I making ANY sense? :)
Appreciate the help.
