I Have a Sink Leak In My RV
by Bob Robinson
(Waterport, NY)
My hot water line in the galley sink leaks when external water supply is hooked up. Have hand tightened the connection to faucet but am concerned about applying too much torque to the connection as they are plastic (vinyl?) connection. Suggestions??
ANSWER: Hi Bob thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
Since it appears that this connection only leaks when hooked up to city water the problem may very well be too much water pressure. If your RV is equipped with a built-in Water Pressure Regulator
There are Water Pressure Regulators
If you still have a leak at the sink after installing the regulator, you may want to add some Teflon Tape
If all else fails you may have to replace that water line. Hope this helps.
Happy RVing
