Is it dripping from where the pipe goes into the bulkhead, or where the bulkhead goes through the glass?

But I can’t seem to get it to stop.

Did you glue the pipe into place or just push it in?

Push and “clicked” I can’t even get it out.

Not sure if the reefer series are the same, but PVC plumbing needs to be glued together with PVC cement to prevent leaks and dripping.

Thanks, but it’s not the same. It’s twist and click, if that makes sense.

There might be a crack in it It seems that there are a lot of those fitting that crack
