PVC pipe has crack

Noticed that PVC line between grey tank and drain valve has hair line crack in it. Is the a way to fix it without having to replace the pipe?
Maybe with JD Weld for PVC & Plastic??

Thank you
  • Thank you Scott, I didn't even think about using the cement to fill in the crack. It is a short crack so will get some ABS cement and give it a try.
  • Make a patch from a piece of ABS pipe and glue it on with ABS cement...good as new!
  • It's ABS pipe. How long is the crack?
    You can replace the section with two couplers and straight section of the same size pipe.
    Or you can use a rubber union that has hose clamps if the crack is shorter.
    Or if it's really short you can just use several layers of ABS cement to fill it in.
