"Hydroelectric seal." Made me look. That was laugh-out-loud funny!

Haven't found something to fix electronics, though...

Universal Repair Kit:
1 roll duct tape
5 to 6 feet bailing wire
3 lb. sledge hammer (for precision adjustments)
2 cans chicken noodle soup (solvent/lubricant)

NY_Dutch said:The push-on fittings have been around for years, but they are more expensive than the crimp banded fittings the RV manufacturers use.
The crimping tool is not too expensive, and worthwhile if you expect to use it a lot.
I'm not sure which of several brands Lowe's carries, but I'm sure they have them.
The only tool needed to use the push-on fittings is a sharp knife.
Sun2Retire said:Success! Cut out the bad fitting added a new piece of Pex and two fittings, whole job took about 15 minutes
No kidding, $8 each. But boy are they convenient
Well, Lowe's gets $80 for theirs! Figured I didn't need an $80 crimper and just bought a couple extra fittings and some Pex line as spares
Sharkbite
I used a ratchet PVC cutter - cut the Pex like butter, nice and clean and straight
