This is the line leading from a water heater to the thermal overflow tank. We have a leak at this point, somewhere inside the connection. I'm wondering if the best plan is to loosen this connection, replace the gasket/ rubber washer that I'm assuming is inside there, teflon tape, and tighten.
Otherwise (and also) I'm trying to figure out the black- band connections used here, which are not compression fittings (turn a screw) and resemble a zip ties but with no obvious ratchet or anything else. It's just a band around the fitting.
Thanks in advance, and I'm now at the mercy of the internet.
