I have some 3" copper pipe about a 6" section that feeds into an iron outlet to the septic tank. It had been wrapped with duct tape when I bought the house (bad idea) but wasn't leaking, so I put it on the back burner.
It started leaking after a new washer pumped water into the drain line. Fortunately, the leak is in the middle bottom of an 8" run of copper pipe -- I took off the duct tape and it's not a big opening -- I may try to clean it and possibly solder it but it's hard to reach and solder may not be the best solution.
What about those epoxy patches? And then make a slit in one of those rubber fittings with clamps so I can wrap it around the pipe? Or is there some sort of miracle tape? THANKS.
