I have a hose bib outside that comes up and out of the concrete
walkway. The 1/2" PVC pipe comes about 3/4" of an inch out of the
concrete before it meets with a coupling, then about a foot of 1/2"
pipe, and then the hose bib itself.

I've got a small leak between the upper part of the coupling and the
foot of pipe.

I've tried shutting the water off, drying it, purple priming it, and
then saturating it with Christy's Red Hot Blue glue. Leave the water
off all night, turn it on in the morning, and it still leaks!

Short of digging up the concrete, is there any better glue or way to
handle this little leak? Someone mentioned a fiberglass repair kit
would be a good idea.

Please help!


Quit screwing around and dig up the concrete. Anyone that exposes pvc for
any distance is just asking for trouble when it is connected to something
that can and will move like a hose bib.
