Can you use a flex pipe to replace hot water pipe from tub faucet to hot water line?

Sure hot water heaters use them and they take the heat.
However, this might not be up to building codes. Either check the building codes for your area, or be aware that you might have to replace it again in the future.

Why will WATER NOT COME OUT OF MY FAUCET?
The water meter is shut off? The main water line is shut off? The valve for that faucet is turned off? The waterline is made of galvanized piping and has corroded shut? Aerator is clogged, remove and clean or replace.
How do you connect water lines to a kitchen faucet when the line coming out of the faucet is copper and the nut is stripped?
I have never seen a faucet that has a nut on the line coming out of it. Usually it is a male connection and the nut is on the supply line between the faucet and the house supply. Anyway, if the line coming out of the faucet is messed up, you could probably cut it and use a compression fitting to go between the faucet and the supply line to the house line.
How do you get rid of calcium build-up in the copper cold water line if it has caused the cold water bathroom faucet to slow to a trickle?

What is the meaning of all of a sudden low water pressure coming out of faucet?
well if you have a plugged aerator or your water line is corroded then that is usually the reason a faucet has low pressure if its just one faucet.
What would cause water oder from a well in only 1 cold water bathroom faucet?
I have had a problem like that and the reason for odor coming out of just one faucet was because they had another water line teed off of the faucet line that was capped/abandoned and the smell was coming from that line because after I disconnected the abandoned line, the smell went away so I don't know if you would have the same problem or not.
Glacier bay kitchen faucet water comes out slow hot or cold how do you repair this?
I just brought a Glacier Bay pull down ceramic kitchen faucet Model 896408. After installing it, the cold water wasn't coming out of the faucet. It turned out the problem was the coldwater supply line inside the faucet was bent & twisted. As a result, when the body of the faucet was attached, it had to be turned just a little to position it correctly, this tighted and choked the water supply line even more- which meant "no cold water." Waiting on replacement line from Glacier Bay, which, I am certain, will correct the problem.
Hot water barely comes out of faucet cold water works fine how do i fix?
If shut off the hot water valve then you take off your supply line from your hot water valve to your faucet and then turn your hot water valve on slowly (with of course a bucket or something to collect the water under it) and if you can see you have water pressure and flow then most likely the problem would be in your faucet on the hot side. If you have no pressure or flow when you turn the hot valve on then it could be debris plugging your hot water pipe or your hot water service valve (angle stop, straight stop) which older galvanized pipes are known to do so. To fix the problem you would need to find out where the problem is then either fix or replace the faucet or replace the angle/straight stop or try back flushing the hot water pipe and or replace the pipe with pex or copper pipe.
How do you get rid of calcium build-up in the PVC cold water line if it has caused the cold water bathroom faucet to slow to a trickle?
I wouldn't think PVC would attract the calcium particles, at least not to the extent you're talking about. On the other hand, the metal pipes in your faucet will. Try cleaning the faucet first. If you find you have calcium buildup in your faucet, you can either try cleaning it with a product called CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust) or simply replace it. Good luck.
How do you get the air out of the line after installing new faucet?
Very simple. Run each faucet until there is no more air. This usually only takes a minute or two per faucet. Remember air is lighter than water and will quickly rise, thus exiting the faucet additionally the strong flow of water out of the faucet is a huge plus.
Why does my New faucet makes clunking noise?
There was air in the line. When you turn off the water with the faucet running make sure you turn it back on with the faucet open. That will release any air caught in the lines. That faucet shut with one on a lower floor on and restoring water does not work. Fast and easy. 1. turn on affected faucet 2. shut off water 3. turn water back on 4. faucet should be running smoothly now
Why would water in kitchen faucet stop running intermittently?
Most likely, air in the line.
Why does it take 90 seconds to get hot water from tank to faucet?
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.
