ryans121 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 The main water valve fitting cracked and I have to replace it. I noticed there are two 1/4" lines going off from the 3/4" tubing. One goes to a drain and one to the jets pump. I can't find this part, and have tried making my own but it leaks. I am wondering if I can cap the 1/4" lines and only put back 3/4" line. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Are the 1/4" lines coming off the black part seen through the hole? The black part looks like a mazzi injector for ozone system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not part of the ozone system as I already capped that off 32 minutes ago, RDspaguy said: Post a pic of the fitting. Here is the fitting I'm talking about. I circled it. The pic I showed earlier is underneath that fitting, with insulation removed. There are two 1/4 lines coming off the 3/4 piping underneath. One goes to the drain and the other goes to the main jets pump. You can see the 1/4 bleed line going underneath from the "K" pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a picture unfortunately It was cracked and I sawed it off and threw it out. What the fitting was: 3/4 pvc slip elbow with 1/4" barbs coming off either side. So it's like a 4 way tee but 3/4" slip x 3/4" slip x 1/4" barb x 1/4" barb I attached a visual here... the black lines represent the 1/4 barbs Keep in mind this is underneath the 3/4" barb inside the equipment compartment. The 3/4 barb would attach to this 3/4 pvc elbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to use this and connect the 1/4 to the pump and just cap the drain bleedline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use it to plug the open end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it doesn't leak anymore, will test tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
