Yup, this just 'happened' here, its a holiday and now I have no water at all..
The pipe has this "screw hole sized leak" so I shut off the main... it's very close to the main of course, so no water anywhere. Murphy's Law is in full effect, it's a holiday.. a
National Holliday.
Two questions.. I know how to sweat copper but this is of course in a really tight spot an "s"curve with a junction over other pipes, really close....To fix I will have to cut perfectly good pipe and the one with the hole.. to patch I have to buy some elbows and straight pipe...basically the last thing I want to do today and I don't think I have everything I need. Is there a quick fix that works? Most products look like total gimmicks and stores are closed right now.
My mechanical side was thinking to tap out the hole so its threaded then put a screw in there or maybe a self tapping screw w/ a dab of epoxy or teflon tape.... ah! I am SO screwed!
( Happy Holliday to all who served and their families ! Seriously.
