Hi, first i'd like to express my condolences to Terry's Family and thank them for continuing this site. Terry will be greatly missed.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to deal with this very slow drip coming from a galvanized fitting screwed into a painted copper water main. The copper line feeds the whole house. The galvanized only goes to 2 outdoor spigots. There is a very slow drip from the galvanized fitting at the painted copper tee.
Also i'm fine with sweating copper but am not sure if the yellow paint on the pipe is lead based or not?
What would you guys do to fix this?. The galvanized run to the spigots is inside the finished ceiling so access is very poor.
Would be best to use some type of dielectic union close to the copper tee i would think. Thanks
