Okay, I am very new at this home repair stuff, but am trying to learn as much as I can. You really have to on the island. I have a water line under my house. A little hole was punched in that water line to tap water from that line to go to my refrigerator for ice and water (yay!). That line is copper and is smaller than a regular water line of course. The fitting is T-shaped and clamps onto the water line. At the bottom of the T is the connection and the line runs out from there and up to the refrigerator through the floor board.
It is at the bottom of the T that water is leaking out, because the connection is loose. Tried tightening it but that doesn't work. Would like to apply some sort of adhesive to secure the water line into the bottom of that T, but I don't want to drink whatever is in that adhesive. What adhesive would you recommend for this? Of should I break down and get a plumber? The little water line just pops right out of the bottom of the T if you tug on it.
