Any way to fix a leaky CPVC valve?

Question

Help! I've got this leaky CPVC valve in a new plumbing setup for a water heater. It only drips when open. :( It's going to be a real pain to replace it. Is there any way to tighten this thing up? It looks like there is a plastic pop off panel on the k**b for the valve but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

NOPE you have to replace the valve

and good luck with the CPVC in my opinion its garbage

Answer 2

No, unfortunately those things aren't made to be repairable, just replaceable.  If it's going to be that big a pain to replace it must be in a really bad place, as the procedure isn't that complicated.
