trying to stop a small water leak under kitchen sink. leak coming from both connectors hot and Cold. lines from faucet connect to main water lines which are flexable lines. since im working in the slide the lines go thru floor between slide and main floor then drop to a compartment to PEK pipe. I have made several trips to the RV shop looking for correct seal or washers to fit. this seems so simple to fix.. any suggestions?

Have you taken the connectors apart to see how they seal? That's where I would start, then go to Lowes/HomeDepot/Menards to get what you need. Should just be standard plumbing parts, nothing special about RV plumbing.

yep been to Lowes found some beveled washers. Still leaks, as you said Should be a simple repair. It leaks so slight BUT its still a leak just above the chrome crimp ring where the connector swivels.

Put a rubber o ring in the female end and several wraps of teflon tape. Crank err down.

did that, still slight leak. only option is cut off existing fitting and use barbed brass fitting.

Ok, don't see an o ring in the pic.

Why not replace the hoseS?

[rickycca]

final out come. I figured out how the lines ran from the slide through the slide floor then thru the main floor to the main connection. Replaced hoses with reinforced vinyl hose and added brass fittings. thanks for the support.

The seals are missing in the hose-to-fitting connection. It is like a thick flat washer. Get new slip on PEX-to-brain lines at THD, or get the proper washer inside the fitting. You do not need anything on the threads. And, if the correct washer is in place, you need not crank it down. I had one that was persistent and found that the threads were messed up and would only thread on a little crooked, so it always dripped. New hose with PEX slip on was the trick. Good luck.
