And not a 90 right in the elbow

I had a small piece of copper with a pin hole leak and I use this fusing tape and it didn't stop the leak entirely. I eventually replaced the area with pvc pipe and all is well. This most likely could work on a piece of copper pipe that was at least 8 inches long. My pipe was just not long enough to spread the tape out far enough. I had to use a razor to cut the tape and it did fuse nicely.

love to see him do that on a pipe that is under a sink unit and mm from the wall

That's what I'm going to have do later today. But all these "Self-Repair Silicone or FiberFix" tapes only show the Easy Repairs! Why?

It worked, clear generic silicone tape, on a leaking oil cooler line that has up to 65psi of hot oil in it. It was leaking 1 quart every 200 to 300 miles and now it's leaking none. 350 miles later of mountain, Interstate, and town driving. Used 2 hours of time (half was cleaning hose) and a $7 10' roll of silicone tape that I wanted to test. Took about 30" of clear tape to do one end of the hose while on the car. I prefer the clear as it allows me to see through it. I developed a technique to do it in tight space. Gave it 3 overlapping layers in a different pattern. Straight wrap, diagonal, then straight again. Any pattern works but important to have different seal points of different wrapping and do it as tight as you can, with space provided. Also important to squeeze and rub firmly on it to get each layer to fuse for 5 minutes or so before the next layer and the final layer. If it's higher than 65psi I would also place single double wrapped pieces directly over the leak, for extra strength material before the first layer of the 3 wraps. Or wrap it 4 times.

Great deals of important information and the video is great. I am bookmarking it for future reference and consultation. Many thanks for sharing! 🙂

good idea in ideal situations for simple pin holes under 100 PSI. Ive been in maintenance for 12 years and i still have not seen anything that works faster, that is cheaper, better and as long lasting as any old chunk of rubber and any spare gear clamp you have in the tool box. If your pipe has pin holes its time to replace it anyways and you can retrieve your gear clamps when you re-pipe.

As a plumber I'm disappointed with products like these, you would think with over 100 years of innovation in the trade they would have something that was really permanent

I love the white guide line on the tape...smart.

This stuff is pretty good in the right environment. But as others have mentioned if you're working on your back under a sink or a bath than it would be near impossible to wrap the tape around a pipe like that.

Amazing

Great video Thanks !!!!!!!!!

It's great tape. I am also looking for such tape for my clients to repair water, oil, gas pipes to stop leakage before applying our fiberglass tape.

The length of that one piece of tape kept growing and growing the more he wrapped it around the copper tubing.

Could you just stick a self taping screw in it until you work out how to shut it off?

Could I use this on an elbow joint? Or dies it have to b a straight pipe?

The product is awesome, although I do not use it for a permanent solution. It helps for those late night calls to hold off the leak until the next day. Also works great on black iron piping in hydronic heating systems. Sometimes it is too cold out to drain the system and shut down the boiler. i have left the tape in this situation for 2 weeks with no issues at all.

I have bought it. Tape is amazing but because of clearances issues, many many times it cannot be used. That's like in the infomercials, what they show it's the best of the situations. Reality is different, pipes seldom hang by themself with lots of room around it.

Pipes usually leak at the joints, like at an elbow. The tape did not work for me. Not even two rolls of it and it's expensive tape. Furthermore, if it's a hot water pipe, the tape will split from the heat.

autocrow correctly true, the hot water pipe to the whole building apartment, happen to cross pass inside my unit apartment walls and ceiling. The hot water pvc pipeline busted for the second time, but in a different location from the 1st (1.5m away) there was a kink plumber state, saying any bend to a pvc pipe even the slightest which isn't noticeable to the eyes can later caused huge damage. Like in my case. It was like a waterfall, something that belong outside in the nature I am now witnessing pouring from my laundry ceiling. Gushes of water couldn't be turned off in my unit mains.so it now clearly the whole units buildings hot water is runs pass part of my wall and ceiling. Point is, no tap will temp cover/fix that amount of water load that I saw ”waterfall” if only it was a natural outback feature piece that MEANT to be there.. But wasn't. Home Insurance fxukd me over as that night I was in process of renewing my home insurance-they picked up that I had a shop within the building apartment and denied the renewal(even tho they did insure me past 2years), only 2 hours later that the pipe busted. I Tried to say they should pay N I am entitled payout. But got denied. Scums they are..!

I tried this tape on my garden holed. It did not work. The hose kept leaking even after double wrapping an area at least six inches on either side the the leak.

Hmmm..I wonder if I can do this with Coolant lines(Metal lines)? I just brought an whole hose assembly for my Ford Taurus, installed it and I guess due to some stress it has a very small crack and it now leaks. I'll have to buy some of this tape and see if it works.

@TheRoadhammer379

Eddie Rice , you obviously miss the reason for this taking longer. You must apply some stretching tension to the tape as you wrap, the wraps should overlap and then build up on both sides of leak before covering the hole. It's not duct tape, it has no adhesive per say, it adheres to itself by the stretching.

Has anyone fixed a toilet soil pipe leak with this tape. Are there any good youtube videos out there showing this?

@Teddibere1

Well....... I fixed the toilet OVERFLOW pipe (small leak) FOUR YEARS ago with similar silicone tape. Still perfectly fine. Soil pipe may be a different ball game though.

That piece being wrapped is a LOT LONGER than the piece that was cut. For the price of a roll of that stuff, I'd buy a couple of SharkBite (or other brand) push-to-fit plumbing fittings and a short piece of plastic or coppe pipe. I keep a few of those fittings around as well as some spare pipe for those "midnight' fixes.

@BigDogsHunt100

No, I think its the same piece. It's stretchy. I know 3M has a self-adhesive tape I've used in the past, even under pressure for a car radiator hose. I believe they call it Mastic-tape. It's thick and rubbery on a backing strip just like this, and once it touches itself it binds instantly... no unwinding so get it right the first time. I also recall a silicone tape with the same "instant adhesive" properties so you can wrap a piece around a radiator hose and patch it without removing the hose. This stuff can be a life saver at the track or on road trips. I wouldn't reccomend it as a permanent fix though... better off replacing the pipe section in the long run. I really doubt a local inspector would think a pipe patched like this is up to code. ;-)

Are these product available India or online. If so what is the price

I hate how these things assume leaks always appear in easily repairable areas such as this, lots of free space, no angles, just a straight clean pipe. In actuality these leaks would appear in joints and areas that curve.

Try it on a garden hose

Took you two minutes and 50 feet of tape to fix that hole. most of these kinds of "Fixes" Are to stop water from running while you go get a replacement or turn of the main or whatever. Not meant for permanent fixes. and you could probably use alot less of another kind of tape.

Be better if turned water off to it first. Open a tap take pressure off it

l think super glue is better or Gorilla glue too!!!!🤣🤣🤣👍 👍

I think it's work in electrical tape???😅😂

Super glue is more solid!!🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍

Used sm tonyte on hot copper pipe. Didnt work !!!

Good idea but I don’t think it works. Coz I have tried it.

That muzac is dreadful - why not have some mention of the tape's name - how tight to pull it, what to do when space is more restricted. Or just silence. anything but that inane din.

Didn't like that camera cut away right as he was going over streaming pinhole and cut to the gauge and cut back not to be an asshole but could edit it wrap a different pipe then cut back I wouldn't write this if video didn't do that

Who repair pipe like this if not for an emergency thing? But till must replace the pipe later. Don't think any insurance company will accept that kind of repair
