I have a 1988 Hot Srprings Grandee. After draining it for the summer I went to start it up again and found that it had a major leak. There is a 90% bend from the side of one of the main pumps that has a very small *(maybee 3/8) nipple that goes to a flexible hose, which goes to the circulating pump... possibly for keeping the main pumps from freezing??? not sure. Anyway the nipple broke off flush to the solid pvc. I was wondering if there was any good way to repair this or if I should start looking for a replacement elbow from watkins.. thanks, any info would be appriciated

was the nipple threaded or molded in? If threaded, remove and replace. If molded, replace with standard elbow, drill and tap for pipe threads, replace with threaded nipple. Best to drill and tap at a glue joint so you have more material.
