Any way to stop a leak at the compression nut/tubing?

I had to spend more money on more tubing. The inner circumference of the tubing is bigger so it leaks so had to go to hardware store and get more. I hope this helps

I didn't have any particular problem so hard to give a good answer. However, it does have to be tightened pretty strong, use 2 wrenches to hold the body of the valve to avoid breaking anything.

go to an auto parts store or Wallys and get muffler bandage and wrap the pipe where the leaks is.

Twist on. You need to line up the threads carefully, though. If you rush and force it, it will leak.

Seems obvious, but make the valve is completely off before attaching. Also ensure that the o-ring/gasket is still intact, if it is damaged or missing, you'll have virtually no barrier to stop gas from leaking out around the threads.

I would suggest you buy a roll of Teflon Tape from a hardware store. Remove the hand held shower head, dry off the pipe the shower head attaches to, making sure the threads are dry. Wrap the teflon tape (in a clockwise direction). Apply a little tension as you wrap the tape, and wrap it around the threads five or six times. Be sure to stop wrapping one thread before the end of the pipe. (There are how-to's on YouTube). Once you're done, twist on the shower head. It should take care of the leaking issue.

The only option I can think of is to replace the seal around the valve, but I would check on the Bialetti website to see if there is a way to contact them with this question.

put tape on the fitting and only tighten it till it is facing up.... you don't have top tighten it up so much it will seal

maybe it has different threads? or is it leaking?if it's just leaking use Teflon tape. if it's the threads, home depot might have thread adapters.

I think it depends where the leak is. If it's in a flat smooth area a tire or swimming pool patch might do. If it appears to be near a seam or valve it may be more difficult to fix.

What part is leaking? Have you checked to be sure everything is set in and tightened ?

Maybe water leakage to inside?Need to strongly tighten unit to prevent leakage

Have you drain the water out of the tank, and the hissing is the hose going to the tank from the compressor is loose put a clamp on it

I prevented mine from leaking by putting rubber bands around the area that was leaking and it stopped the leak.

A second thought. You could remove a 1/4" of wood or so and then attach the bulkhead. What is on the liquid side to prevent a leak? I am thinking some kind of liner or wood sealant.

Just tighten to the folding resistance you deem best. Do not crush the tubing or leave the bolt loose so it rattles. I tightened mine down so that it gives quite a bit of resistance to minimize movement from that joint during use. A little bit of all purpose grease in the joint helps too.

you'll want to use an aircompressor, you can find on at a gas station or tire center. Good chance one of your handyman neighbors has one.
