OP doesn't really give enough detail, but yes that could be the simplest
way.

Copper pipe comes in 28, 35, 42 mm OD with solder fittings available.
With enough overlap, silicone rubber should give an adequate seal. You
can also wrap the inner pipe with PVC electrical tape so as to make it a
tight push fit.


Thanks,
I took your advice and extended inside the house to push it out from the wall, it was more accessible than expected.
