I'm going to give these a shot. I wish I could find some in varying lengths but maybe these will give me just enough.

I did find some general brass 3/4" NPT female 3/4" NPT male adapters but they only have a working pressure of 150 psi. Will that work?

Yes, this is just what I was looking for, but I haven't found anything for 3/4", let alone different sizes. Do you have a specific source online for something like this?

Hi! I have cast iron radiators fed by (I believe) 3/4" copper piping. Piping was put in before the floor tile was completed. After I completed the tile, the piping is now short about 1" or less. What kind of fitting would be best to close up this spacing? I'm thinking some male/female adapter...

Yes I’m aware of the potential. But, this is a weekend house that gets minimal water usage. There have been no pressure changes in the house to date. So I’m hopeful the pump is ok and it’s restricted to a capacitor issue.

Thanks so much for your insight. I’ll head in this direction tomorrow.

I took the capacitor out. Looks like it's leaking a little electrolyte from one area. A good indication why the pump is on faintly intermittently, and other times pumping normally?

I tested the capacitor, which checked out fine. But I'm not able to check it's full health (via microfarad test). I also tested continuity on the relay triac and coil. Triac showed infinity resistance, while the coil showed continuity. So, all good there. Sounds like I should just throw in a...

Yes! Here it is! Can I test the capacitor somehow?

A control box? No. The only thing between the pressure regulator and the pump itself is the pump's electrical box.

The other day I had a sprinkler on and watched as the pressure went down till it stopped. The pressure dropped to 20psi when the cut-in is set to 40psi. After an hour or so, the pressure tank was back up to 55psi. So, I put on a faucet and watched as it hit 40psi, I could hear the pump come on...
