So this weekend I noticed a drip when I pulled out the drawer that contains the outdoor sink. Upon inspection, the leak is at the connection from the water hose leading to the hot water faucet handle underneath the slide out.
I fussed with it for a day and it stopped dripping so I put it back. Today it is dripping again and after fussing with it I broke one of the three ridges on the connection. Any movement at all causes it to drip again.
My guess at this point is that I need to leave it out for the week (we are seasonal) covered, get a replacement fitting and then replace it next week.
I have a few questions:
1. Should I use plumbers tape to avoid this happening again?
2. Will I need to drain the trailer of water before I replace it?
3. Does anyone have any better ideas??
I have attached a picture of the connection in question.
Thanks in advance!
