I have 3 mm leak in copper pipe that goes to outside hosebib. Can I use this on it? How long can I expect it to last?

I had two very similar problems and unfortunately, no matter how tight I wrapped the pipe, it didn't work. I used JB Weld, (not the water one-that didn't work), and it worked on one and still holds. I had to replace the copper pipe on the other.

I don't think it would work on water pressure a pipe like that would have.I used it on a garden hose, and it stopped my leak as long as I didn't have the hose under pressure, soon as I put a nozzle on it, water just seeps out from under the tape.

Should not be a problem just consider how much material you put over the hose. Bury it to deep/ sharp bends can cause it to pinch or crimp and reduce/ cut off water flow.Its a very simple system.

I don't think so. Where is the leak and what kind of leak is it?I was not impressed. If the leak is under water, i think under-water epoxy is the best joce. It is used on swimming pools and I used it on a leaking pool light connector. It worked great.

I'm not sure if this will help. I bought a tube from Home Depot and put the tube in my return line, poured the Fix A Leak down the tube, blew through the tube to make sure the Fix A Leak transferred pretty far in my return line and turned off my filter for 3 days. It helped a little bit but after time the leak returned.

I used it on PVC pipes outside in termperatures above freezing and it didnt stop the leak as the said it did on the "Shark Tank" pitch.

Look at the copper strip right past the out section. You will probably find a break, solder it together, and use outdoor silicone to seal.

Make sure your solution is compatible with copper pipe (non corrosive) and it should work.

With the right connector it should work great.I use mine to blow out copper pipes when I shut down my cabin in Wis for the winter.

I have used these on a soaker hose but I couldn't tell you what the size was. The connector I have leaks in this application but works fine connecting other items like hose to hose or hose to sprayer. I believe my leaks may be the soaker connector.

That is exactly where my leak was. Product worked for me...follow directions.My leak is gone. Check out you tube presentations.

The same thing happened to us. When I had a plumber here for other work, I asked him if he could try to get it off. No luck. I guess it's best not to leave it on your hose for too long or else it will become a permanent attachment.

It will handle a longer than usual hose - I think it is at least 100' and I think the materials will neither leak nor rust.

The only think you can do is throw it away! I had two hoses and they both leaked with in 4 uses. These hoses are garbage.

I used it to seal a leaking skylight on the roof. it is still "soft" after 2 years but I don't see how it could seal a garden hose. the pressure would surely blow its way through

Not sure how long it is; I returned it because the fittings leaked. Seems to be a common problem.

it started leaking & then the inner pipe cut from one side. there is a technical fault in the expanding hose. I have send email to you before three weeks asking if there is away for repairing it but no answer

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!
