So there's two kinds of 1/2" copper couplings. One has the stopper in the middle so both pipe connections stop in the middle of the joint. The other has no stopper in the middle.
Possibly a stupid question, but when would anyone needed to use a coupling that doesn't have the stopper indent in it? When cutting out a section of pipe to repair a spot?
Last night this pipe started leaking water all down the wall. I believe it is the pipe connecting the furnace to the baseboard heating. I can't get a plumber to come out until Monday, but I'd like to be able to turn the heat and water back on before then because I shut it all off to stop the water. It looks to me like the plastic that was keeping the coupling tight has just come loose or got pushed out. Does anyone know how and what I would use to fix this, if only temporarily? I have 0 plumbing experience, but I'm hoping this might be an easy fix.
Noticed a leak under the sink. Originally had a plastic fitting that didn’t fit too well, so replaced it with this rubber one from Home Depot yesterday thinking it would be a slam dunk.
No matter how I position, tighten, or move the fitting, the right side attached to the copper pipe keeps dripping on the bottom.
Am I missing something here? I’m not a plumber by any means, but thought this would be an easy fix. Can’t seem to stop the drip. Left side is fine (attached to PVC)
