Need new water inlet like this!

[coffeydelsol]

Our water inlet is split and leaking. Does anyone know where we can get on that looks like it, or something that would work in its place. Help!

I believe that you are likely looking for a plumbing fitting referred to as a drop elbow.



I had been considering what would be needed to re-plumb the water inlet on my Minuet -- had no idea what fitting was needed -- then discovered that it looks just like this fitting that was used in plumbing the shower in my newly remodeled home bathroom.

yeah, sometimes called a "drop-ear elbow".

They even have sharkbite one's. Just installed one on mine. you could easily take the old one off w/ a torch, and snap on a sharkbite. Hardest part is drilling new holes, as the "ears" are probably not quite in the same place...but that would be the case w/ any fitting. that part of it doesn't appear to be a "standard".

Or do a basic Google search for drop ear elbow.

I found one at Home Depot, try them or Lowes or the local Ace/True Value hardware store or your local plumbing supply store.
