fresh water tank drain issue?
Hopefully I can explain this well enough...I have a Fresh Water Tank Drain that is the type with some sort of fitting with a hex(to put a wrench on) going into the bottom of the tank. Under the hex portion of the fitting is a threaded portion that you screw on a cap to retain all the water in the tank of course. Anyway, as I attempted to screw the cap back on after draining the tank today, the fitting itself started to spin(probably just over-tighten the cap)...I noticed right away so it only spun maybe a millimeter. I then held it in place firmly with a wrench to prevent any further spinning. My question is...is the fact that the fitting spun mean that the fitting has broken loose from the inside of the tank and the fitting will now leak out the fresh water? Does anyone know how this fitting is installed...is it just a threaded fitting with sealant on the threads or some kind of "plastic welded" fitting and it should not ever spin unless the plastic welds failed? Can't test for leaks yet as in my panic, I decide to try to silicone around the fitting to "help" keep it from spinning and combat any possible leak now that the fitting has spun slightly...have a trip coming up in a couple days.
The tank is on a 2014 Rockwood Roo 21ssl if that helps...
