So my leak is from a new control valve and hose set - the old unit was shot.
The leak is from the top hose connection that goes into the control valve itself.
You can't torque them down and I'm afraid if I try to tighten it any more I'm going to strip threads.
How tight do you need to go to stop the "thread leak"????

But seriously, I don't think I could tighten those connections any more without breaking something... I wouldn't think they would need to be THAT tight.
Thanks!
