Ok on to the next plumbing project as we wait out the virus. I repaired my brass pipe with a ton of help from this forum, and I now have more pressure. The swivel joint at my super old shower valve is sweating a bit more. Is it possible to rebuild this joint? Is it a machined seal like a union, or some kind of washer? Any thoughts appreciated.
Here's a diagram from the manufacturer showing the part. It's the swivel where the supply connects. Supply is red brass threaded pipe.
I have access from behind, so replacement is possible, but I'd like to save it if I can.
Thank you!
