I have a 2 year old Brass 1 1/4" Ball Valve which was installed by the dealer
when I purchased my 1/2 HP Jacuzzi Jet water pump. It has just started to leak (small drops) from where the handle and holding nut are. I called my dealer and he said to close the valve, remove the outer nut and handle and turn down the other nut going into the Ball Valve. I have tried this several times but the leak is still there.
I would like to repair it so I do not have to dismantle all the plumbing before and after the valve.
The leak is very small and I was wondering if there is some way to fix it
or apply some type of sealant around the inner nut going into the valve
housing?
Would appreciate a solution from someone knowledgeable in this area
Thank you
