Water Leak

[Sabrex4]

We have a 2022 Entegra Vision XL 34G that has just developed a leak coming out the hot water hook-up for the washing machine. We do not have a washing machine hooked up and the valve is turned off. Any suggestions?

Last trip out, we had a drip under the kitchen sink. It was coming from where one of the flexible hoses met a plastic T. There was a crimp on metal band. I cut the hose just past the T, & put on a regular stainless steel hose clamp.

You might see if it's leaking at the crimp. If it's PEX hose, 2 hose clamps MIGHT work.Good luck

If not what Tony said, go to Home depot or lowes and get either a hose cap or hose shutoff valve.

Pictures of the leak will get you much better answers.

Need more info ... leaking from the spigot? Line into the spigot? A clamp? Pex or brass fittings? As already stated, pictures would help.

Is this the type of plumbing lines or "pex" that you have?

Entegra and others builders starting using this a few years back (2020 maybe?) It isn't actually PEX at all, it is constructed more like a garden hose with a braided outer shell and a soft liner. A plumber friend calls it Chinese PEX.

It's more flexible than PEX and probably a lot easier to work with. But, the problem is they are still using fittings and crimp rings designed for real PEX, and on this softer material the joints become prone to leakage over time. Especially the hot water runs which expand and contract more.

A friend's 2023 Anthem had this stuff and half the connections at the hot water manifold and a few on the cold, were leaking.

We fixed them by adding small fuel line sized hose clamps next to the crimp ring. Ideally, removing the crimp ring is better, but they are a bear to get off in a cramped space without the proper tools.

If you Google around you will find issues with this stuff across all brands.
