| Nov 28 at 10:14 | comment | added | Paul_Pedant | I don't see a brass union in there. I believe the brass nut adjacent to the actual manifold is just a reducer: threaded maybe 1" on the outside and 3/4" on the inside. The silver pipe screws into that reducer (and that joint is where the leak is). That silver pipe has no nut to turn: instead, it will have an internal hexagonal hole that needs a large Allen key (maybe 10mm or larger) to tighten it. So you cannot tighten that without dismantling. The silver nut is captive onto the short silver pipe, and the union is between it and the valve. | |
