stacylynn Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hello Folks, We have a 1986 Oddyssey and in need of some plumbing help/opinions. The water pipe (that old pvc stuff) leading to the toilet has a leak. As far as we can tell the leak is right at the corner joint as the piping turns toward the toilet. It's in such a tight corner behind the wooden cabinetry so it's hard to take a look in there. We fixed a leak in the past, but the joint was easy to get to from both sides, which made it easier to cut out the "bad" section and put in a new corner joint...not so this time. We tried a fix by covering the pipe section with silicone. We let it dry and ran the water just now...the leak is still there. Any thoughts? We are working at the Badlands of South Dakota so it's a bit hard to get supplies 'round here. Thanks for any help. take care, Stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acudoc Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 You may have to go back until you can get to the tubing. Then splice it and make a new run. I had to do that on my Sunrader. Moved the pipe from behind the fiberglass to inside. No problema now. Henry Hello Folks, We have a 1986 Oddyssey and in need of some plumbing help/opinions.

nibs Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If it is for the throne, use heater hose with hose clamps, Just get a bit of copper pipe that fits tight inside the existing pipe, this keeps the plastic pipe from collapsing, then slip a length of heater hose over the whole with a hose clamp on each end, easy to work with and makes a lifetime fix, everything available at your flaps.
