Fix Copper Pipe Pinhole Leak Under 5 Minutes

[Music] hi this is handy tf this video is showing how to fix this copper pipe pin hole leak in five minutes without soldering first find a piece of rubber all i can find right now is an old washing machine rubber hose so cut a piece off this piece rubber should be about the same width as the hose clamp and long enough to wrap around half of the pipe's circumference [Music] loosen the hose clamp all the way [Music] [Music] so put the rubber directly over the pinhole leak then put the hose clamp over the rubber using a screwdriver or hex wrench to tighten the hose clamp over the rubber bit by bit for several times until the leak stops you'll want the hose clamp to be snug on the pipe but be careful not to over tighten a pinhole leak means that the pipe's walls are thin applying too much pressure could crush the pipe there you go the leak stops this is a temporary fix for emergency only a permanent fix is required within a week please like and subscribe thank you for your time handy tf
