Hi,
You are the one who put it in. You are the one who should know best
what's going on.


Good advice except: *Ever try to take one apart? *The only time I
succeeded is after I dug it up, put it in a vice and used a BIG pipe
wrench. *they are screwed together so tight you can't dissassemble in
place. *At least I haven't succeded with 4 of mine and I tried them
all.

If I ever replace one of my bad ones, I will take it apart and
reassemble with reasonable torque before I install it.

LOL, seeing as you it has to be taken apart
prior to the connection being soldered, umm...

Yeah...
