I want to know if this is just a screw off, screw back on type of deal...will i be able to get the new nut over the main line, or is it too flared in there? Would it have to be reflared with a tool or anything? What kind of tool if so?
Is that just a short piece of galvinized between the valve and the meter? Is that another flare into the water meter? Or is that a special little piece i'm going to have to get somewhere?
I found the valve, its a nibco 577-17...now i just have to locate one. It used to be leaking pretty good, the water company repacked it and said "good luck", now it only leaks a little...they don't seem to be too interested in their lost water...i guess they figure i'll be more pissed when my house is destroyed...
