Plumbing hater, here. Found water in the basement this afternoon and ID'd the leak to be the black nut on the hot water side of the bypass valve. I'm in a sticky here, because it will only go so far on and only so far off.
I can't tell if those are nuts that can be replaced (its got a crack in it and hence the leak) or if the whole unit has to be replaced (sigh).
I think if I could undo the clamp on the short hot water line, I can undo the 90 angle piece going into the nut. However, I don't know how to undo that clamp, nor do I know how to put a new one on.
Any help would be appreciated.
