Problems with the use of threaded pipe fittings
Thread Content
Take a look at the diagram to see how to replace the solenoid valve in this connection. There is a plug attached to the reduced-diameter threaded tee (1×1/2), and the solenoid valve has a 3/8 inch diameter. Can the plug be removed in order to replace the solenoid valve? Will rotating the plug cause the tube connected to the solenoid valve to move as well? Is there any problem with that?
Is it just theoretical talk or actual problems on the ground? It’s still necessary to go to the site to assess the specific situation; as long as it’s not welded together, it can generally be fixed.
The core should rotate along with it
Removing the plug-core solenoid valve and the pipe will cause them to rotate; there should be a union fitting behind the solenoid valve
