Now, I have some rubber tubing from an old gas grill, that just happens to
be a perfect (snug, but possible) fit for the 3/8" pipe. It looks
stronger
than a garden hose, so I presume it can take my 40psi.

Can I cut the bad
section of pipe out and slip the rubber tubing over the ends; using the
clamps

Sure, for a while. We can start a pool for when the failure happens and one
of us will win a few bucks.


The only thing on the broken pipe is my dishwasher, so it would be hot
water.

Oh, better yet. You just shotened the life by 50% or more.


The reason I don't just do it right is that I only have about 8" in the
crawlspace, so doing anything is difficult; which is probably why it
didn't
have enough slope in the first place to drain properly.

The reason you don't do it right is because you are a stupid idiot. Check
your homeowner's policy to see if stupid fixes are covered when it burst
while you are away for a few hours or a few days. Have a plumber fix it
right if you can't. Being a cheap prick will cost you more in the end.


Come on Ed, this is a troll.
Not a bad one.
I'd give it a 2 1/2 out of 10.

I agree. If he can reach it to do his mickey mouse repairs he can
reach it to do it right.
