leak

[mikegas]

Ive got a job with a leak on the stap on boss in the pic, is there any sealant that i could use or will i just have to cut out and renew?

 

[GQuigley67]

plumbers mate ? or even silicone will do if done properly

can you disconnect it ? if you can use plumbers mate on the inside of the boss so its not on show if you can ?

Knock it off and fit a new one.

 

[mikegas]

its leaking from this part underneath

Knock it off and fit a new one.

i was thinking this will it come off without cracking the pipe?

 

[tamz]

Yes. Cut through the band at a couple of places and use a 1/4" wood chisel (bevel out) to get down the back of the fitting to break the glue

You could use some gap filling cement if you can't get into it right. Just ask the merchant for a tube of gap filler.

 

[mikegas]

I'll give the gap filler a try first then. Cheers tamz
