Fresh water inlet leak

[wpd406]

We have a 2020 Palazzo and have a leak in area of the fresh water inlet. Does anyone know how to fix this? So we have to replace the entire panel.

I think you have to find the source of the leak before anyone can advise you on HOW to fix it. There are lots of valves and pipe connections "in area of the fresh water inlet". Maybe someone had a similar issue on a similar Palazzo and can give you some guidance on locating the leak?

It’s coming from the valve

And the leak is coming from the inlet valve itself

Valve? Or hose connection?

I have the same inlet fitting and it can be difficult to get tightened adequately. Is your leak on the outside or the inside? If it just leaks down the outside of the wall, first make sure you have the rubber washer (gasket) installed and that it is not damaged. Hooking a hose straight into the fitting can side load it and make it even more difficult to get tight. I use a brass 90° fitting at the inlet so the hose, and in my case the blue filter too, hang straight down parallel to and close to the wall. The plastic tightening ring is meant to be tightened by hand, but as a one time experiment try carefully tightening it a little more with a pair of Channel Lock pliers. If that stops the leak then you might have a damaged gasket, or are just not strong enough to tighten it.
If it is leaking inside the wall you may have other problems.

I use a quick disconnect fitting as it can be difficult getting it tight enough to not drip

I installed a 90 degree elbow on mine and just leave it on there. The elbow is made out of brass and a lot more resilient to attaching and removing the hose.
