What are the best practices for installing washer supply lines to ensure proper functioning and prevent leaks?

To install washer supply lines properly and prevent leaks, follow these best practices:

1. Use high-quality stainless steel braided hoses for durability.
2. Tighten connections securely with a wrench, but avoid over-tightening.
3. Check for any kinks or bends in the hoses that could restrict water flow.
4. Inspect the rubber washers for any signs of wear and replace if necessary.
5. Turn off the water supply before installation and check for leaks after installation.
