i have a leak from the hot water outlet on my 13 Aspire, with the 375 LP Aqua Hot model.
Water is leaking where the white five sided plastic piece goes into the copper .
I have tried tightening the plastic piece with a wrench and this has made the leak worse.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Jeff,

That's the hot water outlet. Should be regular pex tubing into a plastic fitting, that could be cracked. Home Depot and others have Shark Bite fittings that should help you. I'd look at replacing the plastic five sided fitting. There might be a better SharkBite fitting that will go from Pex to Copper (using the copper threads on the outside, versus inside). If that makes sense.
