Been having a leak on the pressure line coming out of the pump. Tightened it but could not completely stop the leak ( a weeping leak, not bad). Yesterday, the line blew out of the pump completely. This is the 1/2 in line with the compression nut.
The line itself has a lot of abrasion on it. Prob the reason it was leaking. Looking at the parts listing at CHN, it shows the tube (DONNH876A) and the Nut (C7NNH856C) and still available. Says the seal is no longer serviced.
So, can the tube be repaired so that it can hold the pressure? Some sort of dope or sealant on the abrasion to fill in the grooves, or will I be better off in replacing the whole tube?
Looks like the same fittings on both ends, right?
Line is $99 so not that bad of a price...
Any other ideas are welcome...
