RODI leaking - Possible to replace the part? (photo attached)
Hi all
https://imgur.com/a/wRZdqHn This is the part that the output tubing connects to the unit and it is cracked and leaking. I took a look at BRS website to see if they had a replacement for this but I couldn't find it. Is there another vendor I could use that has it (or perhaps I am blind)? Either way, rather see if I can fix this then to pay $150 for another unit. |

I can’t get the link to work. From the description I’m guessing you need a John Guest push fitting. You’ll need 1/4” pipe thread (npt) on one end and 1/4 push lock on the other. Pretty much any home improvement place in your area will have them in stock for around a $1.

I can see the link. Boss is correct. Just go to local hardware store and pick up a replacement.

Not to worry -- we all were once.

I would get a couple extras for the fish drawer while your getting a replacement.

In addition to the boxes of spare cpvc, 1/2, 3/4, 1, and assorted large, PVC parts, I have an old tackle box devoted to JG fittings. Having spares and other assorted parts is just good practice in my book.
