I was just visiting Mom and while doing some stuff in the back yard I saw some water coming from here. There seems to be a pin hole or crack in the PVC threads on the right side of the brass shut off valve. It appears that this is a PVC male threaded 3/4 adapter, a small piece of 3/4" pipe, and a 90 degree PVC elbow connecting to the metal pip going into the house. It seems I am very lucky that this is on the output side of the main water shutoff valve for the house.
Back in the day I would try to tackle this on the spot, but as I've gotten older I've learned. Can someone tell me the best way to replace the broken threaded piece, and what/all tools and supplies I would need. And also what to expect a plumber would charge for this repair? Thank you!
