Hi,
I am hoping someone with more experience than me can tell me what this thing is. it is fitted between the water source to my house from the garage into the rest of the house. It has started to leak at what appears to be a bleed valve (far left of thing). what is barely shown is a valve to turn all water off to the house. I know because i have used it to do repairs on two showers.
i think this is a check valve but it does not look like a check valve that i am used to. what i want to do is stop the leak. it is slow but annoying. i keep a tub underneath and empty a gallon and a half about every two weeks. it is leaking at the bleed valve (again, not sure that is waht it is). if i just tighten this will i regret it? or should i turn off the water, open that bleed valve, wait for water to drain and fix what might be wrong?
any hlep is appreciated.
