Find the leak. Apply a vacume to the pipe section somehow. A
siphon hose from the pipe to a bucket several feet lower than the
leak might work. Apply PVC cement to the leak so that it is
sucked into the pipe by the vacume. If you are lucky, you might
seal it this way.

Brady make proper sized "inside" PVC fittings. But why not just
replace what is there with a proper outsige coupling.

We had our sprinkler system (pvc manual valves & check valve)
demolished by vandals and my husband bought all new stuff and
glued
them together. But rather than replacing the PVC than came
from our
well pump, he connected the new fittings to the old using a
piece of
pvc that he glued INSIDE the old pipe and new fittings. Only
problem
is that the connector he used didn't really fit snuggly and it
is
leaking and water is dripping down the outside of our (cement
block)
garage wall. Is there some way to patch this? I'm afraid that
to do
it right we'd have to get all new fittings and start all over
again as
everything is glued tightly together with only the connectors
visable
(no pipe connector is view). I was toying with making some pvc
filings and adding pvc cement and stuffing it in the leak area.
Do you
think this would work? Appreciate your suggestions. The leak
is heavy
enough that if I put the sprinklers on for a couple hours, I'm
finding
water making its way INSIDE the garage (Not sure where its
actually
coming from as I don't feel wetness on the inside pump/pvc. I
have no
idea if this water could cause problems if just left to leak
but I'd
sure like to fix it.

Thanks!
