I Need To Replace A Water Line Fitting That Broke On My Em 200

Be extremely careful when handling the pipe, and when performing your short-term repairs - the pipe may be more damaged than it appears and could potentially collapse or break when handled.

For very small holes ("pinholes"), wrap electrical or duct tape around the pipe a few times, and keep it tight using hose clamps at both ends of the tape. This is a quick and very temporary fix - about long enough for you to get a hold of an emergency plumber. Depending on the hole and the condition of the pipe, it may look like this "fix" will hold up for a day or two - don't let yourself be fooled! Repair the pipe posthaste.

If the hole is a bigger one or you have a leak at a fitting joint, epoxy putty is a versatile and easy way to plug it. Sold in almost any home improvement store (and on our site), it usually comes in a two-part "stick" form, and is activated by kneading the two component materials together. After the section of pipe has been cleaned and dried, put on a pair of gloves, break off a suitably-sized chunk of the epoxy, and prepare it. Work the putty into the hole and around it, using a putty knife if necessary to guarantee smooth coverage. Let the epoxy cure according to the manufacturer's directions (usually under an hour). Once fully hardened, turn the water back on and check for leaks. Re-apply if necessary.

If you don't have any epoxy lying around, or the store is closed, you can use hose clamps to effect a temporary fix. This simple technique uses hose clamps and a patch of rubber - an old bicycle inner tube will work, as will a length of old garden hose - to patch the hole and create enough pressure to keep it from bursting. All you need to do is cut a large enough piece of rubber/inner tube/garden hose to cover the hole and an area a few inches around it. Depending on the size of the hole, you may be able to seal it off using only one clamp, or you may need one around each end and in between as necessary. Although superior to using tape and clamps, this method is another that should not be tested for long.
