I'm trying to make a hot water fill for a customer. He has an existing water spigot, and I'm trying to run CPVC from that location to another valve about 20 feet away.
Problem is that every 3/4 fitting I try does not seal adequately with the spigot - it always drips. Hose fittings; pvc to water hose adapter; 3/4 brass fittings ; 5/8 fittings ; with washers ; without washers . You get the idea. The rest of the plumbing is fine , but I've emptied my tool boxes and most of the part bins on this one connection with no success
Any ideas ????
