I'm replacing the rigid water supply lines on two toilets with braided/flexible pvc toilet connectors. I didn't measure the supply line length so I bought two 20" tubes. The rigid tube is about 6". I connected one and it has a massive loop which is mechanically fine, but aesthetically ugly. Moving on to the second toilet, I returned the 20" tube and got a 9" but this is just too tight.
What should I do? I'm not sure whether these things come in 6" lengths, but 6" may be cutting it too close. Do the lengths include the connectors? I can't get an exact measurement and hate to try to force it if it is too tight. Should I try to make the 6" work or go back to the 20" and have the massive loop?

There is nothing wrong with having a loop left over. You want to have a loop. In fact you have to. If it is too large it will look ugly. These braided vinyl or steel lines come in 2" incriments from 6" to 30".
Most standard height toilets can use a 12" water closet supply.
I prefer the stainless braided,
I would never use a PVC coated supply, too many bulge and pop leaks.
Have you ever seen a home with 3" of water?
A standard 12 closet supply should reach just fine. I hate the "loop" looks very unprofessional but then again I hate exposed flex lines for the same reason. I only ever use solid chrome plated supplies.
