We all know there are ips and cts sizes, and that's not the problem on this job.
This Mueller fitting is made onto the meter yoke, so there is no easy replacing it.
Installing a new house side water service we replaced 3/4 ips polyethylene pipe with the same thing, with the same od.
Going back in to the old Mueller fitting, the rubber seal is somewhat loose on the new pipe (and now, it's somewhat loose on the old pipe as well) Acknowledge that the rubber will tighten up when threaded down.
Once tightened properly, however it will not hold. Yet it was holding pressure before we replaced the service line. One other thing. City Water pressure before was at 95psi.
Suggestions appreciated
