Shur Flo City Inlet

Anyone ever replace the screw on fitting with a flexible line or other product? My fitting is not sealing tight and has small drip leak. I took off and reattached - no success. I’m on the road and looking at options on a non travel day. Photo of fitting I’m looking at options on repair/replace

Need a new swivel seal... I’d use a bit of plumbers tape too for good measure...

Is the leak at the PEX crimp ring? That's where I see water beads (I think).
If you have the tool, you might try to tighten the ring.

If it is the PEX fitting that is bad, replace it.

I've never added a flexible pipe at that location. If you do be careful to not create a loop that will hold water. That area is notorious for freezing.

Didn’t realize there was a seal in the fitting. I’ll relook-regards

Nope - I checked the fitting clamp and it isn’t leaking. Thanks

Water leak

Are u sure it’s not the city water pressure limiter? Over time they go bad. They are easy to replace.
If you have to change the fitting you can get them at Lowe’s. You will have to buy a tool there also to install the clamps. I would pull the pressure regulator from outside and pull the line out of the trailer. There is usually enough slack in the line to allow you to do this.
Have fun.

I had a slow drip on mine. Couldn't get it to stop. I finally took ik out of the trailer and that's when I discovered a hairline crack in the body, probably caused by freezing. Had to drive 50 miles each way to get a replacement. The good news is that they are easy to change. Good luck with it!

It was the fitting. RV parr’s store here sold me a pex push fitting with flared connector to replace the old one. Great on the road repair. Click image for larger version
