[QUOTE="Shaker, post: 430735, member: 19557"] I don't know if that is an available part but that is a press in part. (CHECK DEALER) the housing needless to say is probably still good. if you can get one use a tight fitting open end or box wrench place some silicone on the barbs and drive on the side of the wrench to reinstall the new part. That is about the best way I know to repair your issue or even a straight nipple may be easier to install using a proper sized socket of piece of small diameter pipe. You could thread it NPT but then have the metal chips to tend with BUT it has been done if you use grease not oil on the tap and clean and re-grease the tap multiple times. The chips will stick in the grease and can be removed as you go. I wouldn't attempt if you are comfortable with that option. [/QUOTE]
