Vert ASA...Q?

[Ravenneon]

The other day I decide to re plumb my Minimag and run the line from the valve down to a bottomline. When I went to remove that brass fitting in the vertical bottle adapter the threaded part of the 90 degree fitting completely broke of and are now stuck in the ASA. Anyone have a trick or an easy tip to remove the broken part with out scratching up the ASA?

Might try one of these...http://homerepair.about.com/od/interiorhomerepair/ss/screw_extractor.htm

I know they have them at Home Depot. Basically the grooves are backwards from "normal". Stick it into the fitting, turn counterclockwise, and the grooves should grab the inside of the fitting and hopefully turn it out. Similar to tools used to get broken sprinkler heads out if you've ever seen those before. Good luck.
