FIX LEAKING COPPER PIPE - PINHOLES - Plumbing Tips

Your voice is so anoing

Thank You, I have just applied the temp fix (jubilee clips and rubber) as we can not yet access a greater length of pipe, going to wait until I can then maybe apply compression joint if the pipe next to it allows space, if not, do both pipes, just seems to me a shame to chop a decent pipe,, anyway thanks again.

God Bless you thank you. was in a panic. great video calm approach

Use sand paper on hole, then solder with silver solder, no need to cut pipe. Done.

You have a great energy and enthusiasm for an educator. Everything you said was in perfect layman’s terms for non professionals. Thanks for that :)

Handy tips but what abiut de-burring?

Thanks PP. Came here cos I have a leak out of the shower pipe that enter it from the bottom. Looks like some sort of chrome pipe!

Bad ass video

Awesome video!!!! You have a new subscriber! ~ 🙂

Why can't half a fitting be soldered over the pinhole?
So inplace of cutting the pipe, just clean it up and apply flux, clip a fitting with a section taken out over the hole, then apply solder as normal.

i get a PK screw wrap it in ptfe tape and wind it in.

Great tip's.
Thanks.

I did the temp. "fix" with pad of rubber and a hose clamp 25 yrs. ago. Still dry but guess I should get around to fixing it properly.

Does this method work on lead pipes. The pipes at my work keep flooding. I’m thinking it’s causing mold cause I keep getting calls from parents saying that their kids at getting sick.

Thanks for sharing. I just had a pinhole leak. Thanks!!

Many years ago I just flowed some solder over the hole and plastered it with araldite. It worked and was still working when I sold the house. Apparently in the 1970s there was a lot of poor quality copper pipe prone to pinholes around.

can you directly solder the pinhole instead of cutting the pipe?

Great vid, but when mis pipe for 3rd repair which wasn't over pin hole did you recut or as soldering didn't matter?

I used to fix my mk4 vw golf gti turbo coolant pipe like this i must of put 10 cut in half rubber pipes over the holes and tighten them with jubilee clips.

Very useful. Thanks

The British are so honest. Excellent workmanship and right to the point.

He built all that but couldn't put a bucket at the end of the pipe LOL

Great vid thanks 👍

Sweat in a new pipe or hire a plumber. You're welcome.

I recently fixed a mains pressure pinhole leak by cleaning the area, fluxing and tinning, then flowing a dome of solder onto it. Perfect repair and really quick.

Its no Power on your Pipes xD

jointing compound tut tut !!

..But if the hole is in a central heating pipe within the enclosed loop of the system, how do you turn off the water that is running through the pipe then??

He missed one of the EASIEST temporary fixes there is!
Sharpen a wooden pencil. Poke it firmly into the pinhole. Cut off excess. Tape over the patch with electrical tape.

Hodně pralesní technologie😢

I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand English very well.

Cool - Thank you! Very useful and your presentation rocks!

👍

This guy is ok but drinks too much coffee or energy drinks😗

I've been using pin-hole clamps for years. The clamp pieces are interchangeable so you can get the dense flexible forever gasket easily over the pin hole. The clamp is 3" long and the gasket goes roughly end to end. You mark 2" on each side of the hole so when you put the clamp on you can judge where the center is. Then install the clamp and tighten the SS screws. You're done. It's so easy and it'll last longer than the pipe itself.

NEATO....Old Boy!

Tomuch toking

Good stuff!

good job

Thank you mate jigili jigili jo

round wood toothpick in the holes and done, lol.

You save me a few $100 or maybe $1000 thank you for THANK YOU FOR THAT👊🤛🤜

no need to shout mate...just talk...we wanna listen! (footballs on saturday, shout all you like then!)

In real life with a full length of pipe , you would never be able to solder a pipe like that without waiting for hours for the pipe to dry up , any amount of water inside the pipe will prevent solder to work.

Excellent video, thank you!
