Yes the line fitting are straight threads and they were ruined by the NPT adapter I posted. It gets tight pretty quickly when I thread it in. Since it was previously in this space and is what ruined the threads in the first place I think it can’t hurt to give it a try. It had teflon tape on it previously as well. I’m just learning this as I troubleshoot the leak. I hadn’t thought about tapping it for NPT. DoI s anyone know the size NPT is that can be threaded partially in 1/2 x 20 straight threads, like the one in pic?
