Quick temp fix on leaky pipe...

[Bunker]

Had a pin hole on a 28mm but unable to drain off until Monday. This fixed it for now!

Ptfe and jubilee clip works for me, but the pipe clip looks quicker to "install"

Bit of rubber underneath too where the pinhole is. I must reiterate, this is a very temp solution for a very low risk problem. 3rd floor on gravity.

Whatever works as a temp fix is the way to go. I always have bits of rubber and jubilee clips just in case.

Tap washers and jubilee clips.

Bunker I would be more concerned if there is one pin hole there may be more on the way and why is there a pinhole ???

Thanks Happy but it's a huge mansion (it was Frank Williams house until a few months back) with 30 yr old pipe work, short of changing it all I'm just going to ride with it. The pin hole only came to light when the housekeeper decided the stains had been there long enough, about a year! There is a tiny indentation at he hole so perhaps it was damaged or just a bad bit, either way, not much else I can do for the rest of the system.

Bunker,

I would take a long piece out and cut it open it might be like you say one bad section, but you never can tell, I take it it is on the hot water not the heating

add a bottle or 2 of leak sealer, then you can retire in a couple of years without any call backs
