A leak developed where the PTFE tubing brings water from the pump toward the boilers. Going in to part 5 on page 18: https://wiki.wholelattelove.com/images/2/24/BREWTUS_IV_Parts_Diagram.pdf
The diagram has part number 30400020, a 2-piece elbow with a part that screws over the PTFE tube pushed onto a male tip. The part in my machine was a push-to-connect fitting, as shown on WLL (currently out of stock): https://www.wholelattelove.com/products/expobar-elbow-replacement-kit The tech support suggested that the push-to-connect elbow fitting was the newer part, but mine mechanically failed. After attempting to re-seat the tube, the ring you push in to release the tube fell out/off the elbow. While this is carrying "cold" water, it seems to be a "hot" area, conducting a bit of heat from the boiler above. Can this be replaced with any other fitting or type of connection? Do the "old" elbows offer better reliability despite not being push-to-connect? Has anyone replaced this section with braided stainless or other alternatives?
