Oops, the water pipe in my well house froze then cracked during our recent cold spell. Plumber will not arrive until Monday. I used self fusing tape and a pipe clamp to reduce it to a slow leak so I can occasionally turn on the water. I could attempt to fix the problem but I'm uncertain about the fittings and don't want to make it worse.
The white plastic fitting (red circle) connecting iron pipe to 1 1/4" black water line leaks.
Is it merely a connector threaded into metal pipe or is part of check valve?
It can't be removed without breaking further as well casing is rusted.
And I fear removing it will result in submersed pump (200+ft) dropping to bottom of well!
Well casing is 8" diameter, water line 1 1/4" outside dia., plastic fittings are 1 1/8" dia.
Thanks in advance for knowledge!
