Nordraw Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looks like a temporary fix at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should have done it before running to go get this thing when you hammer a nail into a pipe. Have you guys seen the new flex seal tape? They're sort of marketing that has a permanent fix.

plumbfitter Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Complete Joke. Seen them at the suppliers. Would never buy or use. There are much better options out there for temporary pin hole fixes that we use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Definitely a nice temporary fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Rothenberger makes very reputable tools for pipe fitting trades. Looks like a goo temp fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks impressive...but I dunno if I'd trust that has a permanent fix. Guess we'll have to wait and see how the population likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Maybe a short term fix but I would do it right the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeldfabNeil Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 A friend of mine who flips houses sent me a picture a while back. Basically they took a basketball cut it in half an put a few band clamps around it to fix the cast iron pipe. They then did a built in shelf in the closet to hide it.

Conductor562 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can see it now "Why the hell is my shelf leaking?" That at sounds like something Mrs. Conductor would call me at work to tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Lol I know it was a major issue. After fixing the pipe they didn't make much money on that house. That said they buy houses cheap sometimes unseen. They do good on some but others end up like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
