Leaking Water Valve at Convenience Center

[Sundogette]

Has anyone had to replace the fresh water flush valve in the convenience center? The valve is the small brass one...has a blue hose for fresh water that drains the water system. Ours has developed a leak that is getting worse. Not leaking at the hose clamp... Hot water valve is ok so far.

We have been lucky to avoid other water woes so far. Pete is looking at the shark bite tool on Amazon right now.

On my last 2 Monty's both of valves leak and drip out the red and Blue lines but ONLY when I do the black tank flush and I have no idea why then they stop dripping when I'm done...WEIRD and now they do not leak at all so I would like to replace them as well at some point

They are PEX fittings. Menards carries them here, but I'm sure most home improvement stores carry them. The crimp tools are pricey and there are a couple different types. You might check to see if you can rent the crimp tool.

Talk to lowes or Home Depot. Shark bite connectors work great. On our 2015, the fresh water outlet in the convenience center started leaking immediately. Cheap plastic, replaced with brass for less than 10 dollars.

Mike, were you able to pull any extra length on the Pex hose? It's our fresh water valve that's leaking, guess we got the last of the brass valves...we have tried flushing and messing with positioning. Pete is trying to decide if he should put an extra inline valve and not mess with trying to fit the 90 degree valve as the clearance is tight. He has already dialed into the local Lowes in Sandy for the parts. Thanks all for the responses.
