This is a replacement for this. It comes with this little set screw. I don't ever actually put this on. If you put this on and break it off, it's going to be really hard to take this off. This actually comes with a washer that's going to allow this to seal. You can just go hand tight with this and now we're good to go fast, easy replacement in my neighbor's back in business.
