leak repair

[nephi007]

hello The plastic valve to the right is leaking and must be replaced. Seeking advise on what to replace it with.

Cut the steel clamp with side cutters. Pull the hose off. Unscrew the elbow.

If you can't get to the clamp, cut the hose near it. There should be enough slack to reuse the hose.

You can buy a new screw type clamp the re-connect the hose to the elbow.

Hello. Actually it's the elbow that is leaking not the hose. I double checked. I don't want to use another cheap plastic elbow so my question is what where to go and what to look for. Thanks

Take the plastic elbow to a plumbing supply or Home Depot. They should come up with something in brass.

Hello. Thanks Twin Boat will go to Home Depot for a look-see.
