Sioux Chief 283-T24120C00 3/8" x 20" Chrome Toilet Supply Tube with Rubber Nose Cone
The Sioux Chief 283-T24120C00 is a 3/8" x 20" chrome-plated toilet supply tube built to connect a closet (toilet) supply stop to the fill valve inlet on the tank. It is constructed from smooth, flexible PEX tubing supplied with plastic ferrules, so plumbers and contractors can route it through tight rough-in spaces behind the toilet without kinking. A rubber nose cone at the tip seats against the tank inlet for a secure, leak-conscious connection, and the chrome-plated exterior keeps the exposed run looking finished once the fixture is set. At 20" long with a 3/8" connection, this tube is sized for standard toilet supply stop hookups in both new construction and replacement service work.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 3/8" x 20" sizing fits standard toilet (closet) supply stop to tank connections, giving enough length to reach from a floor or wall-mounted stop to the fill valve.
- Smooth, Flexible PEX Tubing: The PEX supply tube bends easily to route between the supply stop and the toilet tank inlet without the kinking that stiffer risers are prone to in tight spaces.
- Plastic Ferrules Included: Ships with plastic ferrules for making up the tube connection at the stop, so the tube is ready to install without sourcing separate hardware.
- Chrome-Plated Finish: A chrome-plated exterior gives the exposed portion of the supply tube a clean, finished appearance at the stop and tank connection.
- Rubber Nose Cone: A rubber nose cone tip seats at the toilet tank inlet for a secure connection when the tube is tightened down.
- Rough-In and Repair Ready: Suited to both new toilet installations and replacement of an aging or leaking supply line during service calls.

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief builds this toilet supply tube around smooth, flexible PEX tubing, included plastic ferrules, and a rubber nose cone so plumbers get a straightforward, complete connection between the supply stop and the toilet tank without hunting for extra parts. The chrome-plated finish keeps the exposed run looking finished on both new installs and replacement work, and the 3/8" x 20" sizing matches the dimensions contractors expect from a standard toilet supply tube. It is a practical, rough-in-grade component for keeping toilet supply connections reliable behind the wall and at the fixture.

Sioux Chief 283-T24120C00 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 20 inch toilet supply tube be long enough to reach from the stop to the tank?
The Sioux Chief 283-T24120C00 is a 3/8 inch by 20 inch supply tube, which covers the normal run from a floor or wall mounted closet stop up to the fill valve shank on a standard tank toilet. Twenty inches gives slack for a wall stop set a few inches off the floor or for a tank that sits higher than usual. If your stop is unusually far from the fixture, measure the actual run first, since a supply tube should not be stretched taut to make the connection.
2) Does the Sioux Chief 283-T24120C00 come with the ferrules, or do I need to buy them separately?
Plastic ferrules ship with the tube, so the compression joint at the stop can be made up without sourcing extra hardware. The tank end uses a rubber nose cone that seats against the fill valve inlet when the coupling nut is tightened. You still need the compression nut at the stop if your valve did not come with one.
3) PEX supply tube versus a braided stainless connector for a toilet, which should I use?
This Sioux Chief tube is smooth PEX with a chrome-plated exterior, so the exposed run between the stop and the tank looks like a finished chrome riser rather than a braided hose. It bends to route behind the fixture without kinking the way a rigid chrome or copper riser can. A braided stainless connector is faster for a loose field fit, but where the supply is visible beside the bowl and you want a clean chrome look with a hard tube feel, the PEX chrome tube is the one to use.
4) Does the rubber nose cone need a separate washer or cone gasket at the tank?
No. The rubber nose cone is part of the tube tip and seats directly against the toilet tank inlet when the coupling nut is drawn up, so no extra cone washer is needed at that end. Tighten it by hand plus a light turn with a wrench; overtightening a rubber cone distorts the seal.
5) Can I use this on a toilet that already has a leaking supply line, or is it only for new construction?
Both. The 283-T24120C00 is used for new toilet sets and for swapping out an aged or weeping supply line on a service call. For a replacement, shut the stop, drain the tank, pull the old riser, and make up the new tube with the supplied ferrule at the stop and the rubber nose cone at the fill valve shank.
6) How does this Sioux Chief supply tube ship if I am buying for a multi-family or MRO stockroom?
The 283-T24120C00 is packaged 100 each, which suits property managers and plumbing contractors standardizing one toilet supply across a building or a truck stock program. One part number covers every 3/8 inch closet stop on the property, which keeps the service truck from carrying three different risers.
