Default Re: Repairing a pipe

Not Selleys!

Is it a half inch copper line? Go to Bunnies.

I/N: 4700159
Kinetic 15 x 150mm Brass Plain All Thread

I/N: 4720058
Kinetic 15mm Brass Compres Nylon Olives Pack Of 5

I/N: 4700101
Kinetic 15mm Brass Compression Nut X2

Then it’s just wet Meccano. Cut the original pipe neatly to engage about 20mm each end of the brass, and clean it to nice and smooth with scotchbrite. Put on the nuts, then the olives. Start with your fingers, making sure the brass piece stays centred. Hold the threaded “patch tube” with multis or vise-grips while you firm up the olive nuts.
