LOL, I should just buy those things in lots of 12, I break them every-time I look at them. I think I've bought about 4 of them so far, but I'm a klutz.

It shouldn't be a problem if you don't have any leaks when you're done.

No concerns to install that line. It's a 10 minute job and you won't have any leaks unless your rubber hoses are shot and just waiting to fail.

Yup, just go slow and don't force anything. It's pretty straight forward.
