Hello all.

While on a trip we just found that one of the original tees behind the electrical cabinet has a pin leak and is cracked. I started to look at its connections and having a hard time finding a tee that will directly replace it. The original gray tubing appears to be half inch, but has a flanged end on it with the plastic nut. The plastic nut appears to be a half inch NPT thread, but I am not able to find a tee that has the correct flanged end for the gray tubing to fit.

Does anybody know if these connectors are still available somewhere? The only other thing I could think of is to cut the flanged end off and see if a tee with a pex or compression fitting will work. But, I don't want to cut off the end until known for sure.

Appreciate any help on the matter, should be a simple fix once I can find the correct parts.

Thanks!!!

Of course, just after posting, happened to find the part on Ebay, after searching around earlier today. Comes up as a Zurn/pex fitting:

Thanks!

Chris,
You should have called me and I would have told you to go to a local RV
repair shop as they would have them.
I help at least 5-10 people. I do return all calls, learn where the help is.
