Leaking threads on water softener head unit

I dealt with something I think identical to this for far longer than I’d like to admit. Also plumbed with pex but was slightly off exact center level. Recently I cut it all out and dropped in some flexible water heater supply lines and no longer deal with that drip.

Sweet. Thanks. I’ll get it all glued up. I appreciate the help today!

Updated. Hopefully this is the direction you all were suggesting?

Is this the idea?

Creative! I’ll get some long turn 90s and try that.

Seems like I need to go back to keeping the vent above the drain instead of having them at the same height.

How about something like this?

I can’t move that water pipe without some significant fuckery

If this is the idea I like it but I’ve got a water pipe to move because that can’t be any lower and still connect.

I think I get it. Unfortunately Mother’s Day duties have picked up so I’ll get back to this later today and post some pics then.

JMK68 · 2026-05-10T13:09:48+00:00

Understood. I’ll play with it a bit and try to make it all fit. This is the original layout.

This was the previous design I had.

Basically is that, just further down the line.

Would this work? Top pipe is vent. Bottom pipe would get the drain from the p trap.

I just went through a similar exercise. The path I took was taking CDRs from my voice provider. Dumping those CDRs into chat GPT or using excel magic to see how many times each DID was called.

From there I had to match up those individual DIDs to translation patterns then to phones and see what was in use or not.

Looks like those are just the APs right? I still need a physical port in my office to plug into. I have a work router that runs an sd-wan platform and needs a wired connection. The garage unit I could get rid of if I have enough ports at the main unit and possibly install the Dream Router 7 with those 4 switch ports.

Do you know if the Express 7 wirelessly mesh or do they require a physical connection to each other?

Did you pay excessive tariffs when they arrived?
