Default Stoppiing leak in plastic plumbing pipe


"Bob" wrote in message
...
I have a small leak at a glued connection of two pvc plumbing pipes that

are
located horizontally under my kitchen sink. I would like to stop the leak
without having to take apart the pipes,etc,etc.

Any suggestions(plumbers goop,etc) on how to successfully do this would be
most appreciated.


If you can somehow create a vacuum in the pipe, it will
suck PVC cement applied to the leak into the leak and
may seal it. Get it dry first. This has worked for me on
low pressure leaks. YMMV.
