Moving. Can I patch my rodi drain hole?

xxkenny90xx · Oct 31, 2020

Hey guys does anybody know if there is a way to patch the hole I drilled in my sink drain pipe for my rodi? We are getting ready to move and I probably shouldn't leave a hole in the plumbing...

Obviously I can just replace the pipe but just seeing if there are any other options?

You can probably use some reef putty to seal it

JB Weld might work. Maybe a couple passes.

Id recommend to replace it. $10 at lowes and nobody will ever know you were there.
Plus if i was the landlord id be ticked if i found that repair coupler under the sink after you vacated lol.

Oh you assume I'm a renter?...

Well anyways

I had permission from the landlord, but the property just sold there's a new guy now.

Yea.....i did. And didnt make an A** of either of us

Btw, did u tap into the vertical pipe or the horizontal?
If the latter, a $6 p-trap kit is all you need. No tools required unless your current plumbing needs some motivation to remove.
