The bottom half of the steel tubular nipple has rusted away, so that there is no simple way to stop water from leaking out. I was initially confused by the presence of the plastic legs of the 2-14434 that protrude there. I am totally baffled as to what is 2-14725 ? Anyway, we want to repair the machine if possible.

Would epoxy be waterproof in such an application?
