Thank you. I had read bits and pieces over the years.
I have used plastic quick connects in the past and have used plumbing tape on one but this hose was forgotten till fall and by then it was bonded.
I need to charge up the Dremel tool batteries.
I can't lose. If I mess the threads up, the plumber can catch it on his next visit. That would be cheaper than calling him in a panic when I broke the whole mess loose.
Thanks again for the link.
