Hi there, I had a section of hep20 fail after 2 decades of home ownership, its buried under tiles.I verified which section of pipe is leaking with food colouring. instead of ripping tiles is there a possibility to thread narrow guage hose through the failed pipe? even if i had to renew it every 10 years it would still save re installing tiles.
my biggest question is what sort of connectors i would expect to find available for hep20 to connect to hose? do they make these for aquariums?

thanks

I did a 22mm acorn (brown horrid stuff) down to 15mm JG few moths ago. Worked fine. Philmaac universal coupling

I forgot to mention, the failed pipe is 15mm
so i need something much thinner than that to navigate,
any ideas? do hep20 couplings exist for aquarium piping?

Had a dispute with the builder. He was supposed to do the downstairs toilet, and fix a sink and watertank to the garage. When he put up a pair of gallow beams, he damaged the brick, and when I inspected the beams, they were coming away from the wall. They were fixed with approx 6" screws and...
