Re: [VAC] plumbing


Ron,

You have copper tubing that had water which froze and expanded the tubing
size.  I had the same problem.  You can correct the problem by re-sizing
the tubing to 3/8" using the tube clamping part of a flare kit.  Just clamp
the copper tube in the 3/8" hole and tighten.  Loosen the clamp and rotate
the tubing 90 degrees and repeat.  Keep checking the size and repeating the
clamping until your fittings fit.
