fixing small hole in sewer pipe

[jlscjs]

I have a very small leak, about 3/16 or less, on my drain pipe coming from the black water tank. The hole looks like it was caused by someone running a screw underneath to hold the cover on the belly. It is located on the side but still leaks liquids when emptying my black tank. Anyone know of anything that I can use to seal it up or if the Eternabond tape would work on this.

I did some ABS repair with ground up ABS pipe from the hardware store. I bought a short piece and cut it into strips for welding. Then ran a couple strips through a pencil sharpener to make powder for filling cracks or making larger patches. Used the powder and ABS glue to fill a hole in a motorcycle fairing. A piece of super sticky duct tape created a backing and it could pool. Took a LONG time to dry out though and I had to make multiple layers. The repair held, though.

Actually that's not a bad idea if you have some black ABS glue lying around. That stuff is thick and dries rock hard. I've used it to repair small cracks in ABS pipe. Just apply a few layers and build it up.

Another vote for Goop. It works on anything.

Another vote for rescue tape. Put some as a temp fix on a p-trap years ago and still holding great.

Furnco splice slid over hole

Get a pan from the kitchen to catch the drips. Just remember to wash it well before returning it.

We used clamps like these at work.

GOOP

Dump tank, dry it, you might use alcohol to wipe it, Wait till dry and apply GOOP.

A product called Seal All might also work (While it's leaking no less) but GOOP is my first weapon.

hey by now it would be faster to cut the pipe and put a coupler in or do a old-biscuit trick and use some bubble gum :B

You could also make a patch out of a piece of black abs pipe with the same radius and glue it on with black abs cement, effectively welding the patch on. It will never come off.

If it is black ABS pipe, use a plug made of ABS and use ABS cement. Carrier has it right.
