Help!
I've posted a picture to help explain my issue.
I had a leak in a pipe. A corroded pipe to the right of join C, there was a hole in it. The leak was not at the join, rather about an inch or so to the right of join C.
That pipe has been replaced.
Prior to the pipe being replaced the 3 way part shown was a soldered part and didn't leak (none of the 3 joins). Replacing the pipe resulted in replacing the 3 way join part.
The replacement part is a bolt like looking part (sorry, don't know the name of the part.)
Since the pipe replacement that 3-way join is leaking at each join. A,B and C.
I am told it is not possible for that join now not to leak as it is a join with steel to copper piping.
In essence it is not fixable to not leak.
Is this true?
Or can it be fixed so it doesn't leak? I am concerned I am being fobbed off
Thank you for any help.
