Jeff thanks; i will replace it ; do you have a product link or a name i can find a better adapter or option to go with ?

It actually happened in the middle of the night when we were asleep.

Thank you for the advice that i am also taking into action. I am going with a 3/4 copper stub out with the mounting bracket to mount from under the house then using a sweat on 1/2 MIP fitting for the braided line to connect to...
