Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Plumber question...hole in PVC

I would probably make a plug out of PVC and use PVC glue.

Lol, guys, this what we do on a fish farm. Fix pipes we break, bust, drill through, forget about and dig uo, etc.

Since it’s low pressure, take a short piece of the same diameter pipe and cut it in half lengthwise. Clean, prime and glue both the pipe and the “saddle” with lots of heavy pvc glue (or pvc epoxy I.e. weld-on 10811 if you’re OCD). Slide hose clamps around the pipe and clamp the “saddle” to the pipe.

Presto! Fixed for longer than you’ll live.....

I've done similar and would have advised the same but he made it seem like there was not any extra room.

A finish nail size hole? Just prime it and coat with blue PVC "wet or dry" glue. Make sure you get some in the hole. You'll never have a problem. It's made to bridge a bigger gap than that.

I would repair it with Sharkbites and Pex.

Yes Sharkbites are not cheap, but they are what you seek.

Yeah, put a screw in it, make sure it is long enough to catch all the ass wipe and schit than comes by.

For 1/8” of a PVC saddle plus a 1/32 for the pipe clamp? Maybe if it’s a 3” pipe (3.5” OD) in a 2x4 framed wall? Hog out a bit of the drywall if necessary.

Or, just put a nice coat of the PVC epoxy on without the saddle. It’ll hold unless you put 60 # of pressure on.

My thought would be a bit of sand paper followed by Marine-Tex.

if it pvc just use pvc glue prime it and glue it simple fix

Where do you buy your 3” and 4” shark bites and PEX?

Reading is fundamental……maybe I should try it.

Yup! I've used to sheets a couple of times at work with hard to reach places. Works great.

Wrong. Read the original post and tell me at least two reasons why you're recommendation is totally out in left field.

Read two post above you and tell me why I need to explain this to you.

I had this happen but from a nail siding went right through the exterior wall into black plastic pipe (ABS).

AS long as it doesn’t Crack (if it cracks you need to replace a piece of it… ) then you can epoxy it.

Go to a plumbing supply store and get the right expoy.

If you have to put a joint in it you can cut some of the drywall (inside side) off so it fits right.

Steel hose clamp with a 1/8” thick rubber gasket sandwiched between clamp and PVC

Mark the hole with a marker so you’ll know the rubber is positioned properly when you tighten the clamp

Takes up no space

Fill the wall with concrete.

Valsdad;
Good evening to you sir, I hope this last weekend in August treated you all well.

I'd never heard of Flex Seal Tape until one of the young guys on one of the YouTube offroading channels I watch mentioned it as a staple in his emergency kit.

Always the curious sort, next time I was in the big town north of us, I stopped at the Canadian Tire and picked up a roll to test.

In short order, the fullness of time or serendipitously depending upon one's description of events, I was checking the yard irrigation system and found a small tear in a drip line.

Rather than replace the line as I usually do, or put in a piece with barbed fittings on either side, I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol, wrapped it two turns with Flex Seal Tape and turned it on.

There was no leak, despite the measured pressure at a couple stand pipes hitting between 95psi - 100psi.

It held until the line - about 30 years old now I'm guessing, began to deteriorate in other spots a couple months later, but for something sitting out in the sun and rain to work under that pressure, well color me impressed!

Therein lies my product review for the weekend sir.

All the best to you folks and good luck on any hunts you're going on as well.
