Larry,
The fitting was not installed correctly if it came off. Why couldn't
you have a short section spliced in? Hopefully, they would do the
installation correctly this time. You had a defective connection, that
wasn't the equipment's fault. Like I said before, some work is done by
"so-called mechanics". This was one of those times. I wouldn't quit
using it for what it was intended, I would get it fixed correctly.

:Hey, Tom,
:
:The first time I hooked up the water hose this spring and turned on the
:water, it blew the connection from the gray plastic pipe to the internal 50
:psi pressure regulator/anti-siphon valve. I now fill my tank via the 2" pipe
:from the right side, which takes about five minutes, rather than use the hose
:and the autofill route. If I hook up at a park, however, I do not want a
:repeat of what happened here in my backyard. What would you suggest?
