| Feb 19, 2018 at 19:30 | comment | added | bitsmack | I just had this problem. In my case, the valve was a "flare"-type connection. I didn't want to install a new flare tube and I couldn't cobble together any sort of adapter from Home Depot components. I ended up replacing the valve. Maybe someone with more experience will give you a better answer. | |
