Fittings broke on my Ro/di don't know where to get replacements.

[dtd87]

So somehow a fitting broke.. I had one previously that I just superglued. Well now two down time to get some new ones, Just not sure which to get. I know they are 1/4 inch.
The recently broken piece in the middle was just shredded inside.

HELP!!!

Here are some pics

just use the jg style thread in fittings at home depot.

They didn't have any when I went there @ 1/4 inch plus I'm not sure how to clear out that housing..

 

[thatguy559]

you can clear out the housing with a simple tap. as far as the fitting you can use a couple of parts to step it down

Whatever is in there.. in the house the piece that broke off in it.. Feels like it's gorrilla glued. I have no idea why it is shredded.

thats teflon

thats teflon

So how do I go about removing it so I can install a new fitting? Also will I have to coat the new fitting with anything?

what a bummer. I hope you find a simple resolution here.

 

[thatguy559]

use a tap to get it out.....and add teflon tape to the new fitting

Got it out with a pair of pliers. Got the wrong fitting also.. Leg hurts to bad to drive again hopefully can get someone to get me a ride later. Running out of top off water..

 

[ReefLogic]

Glad you got it out....off topic here....I have the same exact mouse and needlenose's....when I first saw this pic I was like "WTH....is this dude at my house?"

 

[dtd87]

Hahah what keyboard you have? I have a g15. LoL This mouse has been around like.. 3 years almost time to get another.

 

[ReefLogic]

I use a Microsoft Ergo....what can I say....I am a gamer. Is that the mouse with the sensitivity control? Where you can increase and decrease on the fly?

 

[dtd87]

Yeah it is, pretty nice most people touch it and are freaked at the sensitivity.

Bad news went to fix it then my first house both.. fittings broke and I can get these pieces out T.T my luck is horrible

Take your parts and pieces to Mclendon Hardware and talk to the plumming gang there. They'll fix you up. There is alot of knowledge and special parts that they have when no one else does.

I got it all fixed today, it's up and running. Now I need to get like a line tap for the bathroom because I'm getting tired of setting it up in the laundry room.
