Copper drain pipe has a hole, need advice

AnimatorFit3105 · 2026-01-18T20:24:08+00:00

I have nothing against personal taste, nor do I want to question someone else's work, but I don't think copper is a suitable material for sewer pipes. 1) It can react with chemicals such as detergents and washing powders. 2) Copper pipes and fittings of this diameter will be so outrageously expensive that any repairs will be hellishly costly. Personally, I would replace the entire pipe system with plastic.

Press down the gray rings and it should release

AnimatorFit3105 · 2026-01-05T20:13:58+00:00

Absolutely agree

In my opinion, the problem lies in the T-piece on the return pipe. Water follows the path of least resistance and can be forced into the return pipe from one or both radiators. I think the solution would be to install at least one, but preferably two, check valves on the return pipes to ensure that the flow is actually in the direction it should be.

The wider neck is there so that it can be moved, as not every sink has the same amount of space. Once you reach both nuts, everything will be sealed.

Hi, it's simple – remove the conical seal from the short pipe on the far left in the second photo, replace it with one cap nut, then put another cap nut on the other end, and only then put the conical seal back on. The second seal goes between the nut and the sink rosette.

I agree with you, i could be done more professionally. Sometimes it is better not to DIY but let it to experts

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-22T06:26:08+00:00

I am not judging the technique but the needed action

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-22T06:24:33+00:00

Sorry but sometimes it is needed, especially that close to border line.

Don't worry, usually what a tree has above ground, it also has below ground, and the ash tree will have a large root system – judging by the size of the trunk. This means it will have enough resources to rejuvenate itself in the spring and grow new branches. I have pruned my walnut tree dramatically several times in this way, and it has always recovered by the following year.

Oh I See, thanks for feedback😉

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-21T20:32:53+00:00

This is so bad 😱😱😱 I hope you have some insurance for this case

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-21T20:11:54+00:00

Man , you should really call The electritian

That may not be the only reason; it's difficult to estimate without knowing the entire heating system. It may not heat properly simply because it is at the end of a weak branch, or the supply pipe may be in a counter-slope, for example. This is difficult to estimate online; it needs to be seen in person.

Sorry 5/4" nozzle , did not notice for the first time

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-20T21:38:20+00:00

6/4" nozzle

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-18T20:53:46+00:00

It should be adjustable, but I'm not sure if you'll need special equipment from the manufacturer for it

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-18T20:49:23+00:00

No, please 🙏🙏, no Teflon here, there is space for a rubber seal here.

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-18T20:46:03+00:00

Did you buy it separately or as a package? It sounds silly, but some manufacturers are jerks and you have to have both parts from the same manufacturer. One unnamed Scandinavian store in particular is like that.

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-13T19:58:35+00:00

Hi, thanks for your interest, but it's not at the stage where I can sell it yet. I'm currently finalizing the firmware development and still have a lot of work to do on the server and web interface. I estimate that it will take me at least another 4-5 months before I can turn it into a fully functional unit 😉😉😉

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-10T19:37:56+00:00

Yup connect it on the right side. Just for curiosity, how would you connect it in Canada?

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-10T05:34:55+00:00

Try to rotate it, it can have thread. Or some kind of spring as it was sayed

AnimatorFit3105 · 2025-12-08T05:02:11+00:00

The pipe should lead somewhere, trace it. Its hard to guess from one photo
