<div dir="ltr">So I cut out enough sheetrock to get some wrenching room, got the old <br clear="none">pipes out without too much trouble.  I sprayed a few of the joints with <br clear="none">WD40 a few times, maybe that helped, maybe it didn't.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">So now the question is can I get the sealing face that rusty old union <br clear="none">cleaned up enough to get a good seal, or am I going to have to replace <br clear="none">it too, which might mean tearing into the wall in the next room.  Or <br clear="none">maybe not.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">And then, this project has got me thinking.  It might be my cue to buy a <br clear="none">roll of PEX, a cutter and a crimper and start using it to fix this <br clear="none">problem and the next one on my list, the washing machine.  At the moment <br clear="none">when you select a hot water wash, the machine fills up at a rate of <br clear="none">about a gallon a day.  Is it just the fill hose being clogged, or the <br clear="none">valve, or the pipes feeding it?  Fun fun fun!
