I have a small leak on my 2 inch bulkhead leaking from my sump to my pump. The leak is from where the piping glues into the bulkhead. As to not have to replace it and the ball valve could I seal around where the pipe meets the bulkhead with epoxy? If not epoxy what? Or am i doomed and need to replace the ball valve and bulkhead?

Thanks

Craig

    you could try some water weld, it is a material that you kneed together and is usable on wet areas, try that out and see what happens, if not that then yes you will be changing the parts out

    I know home depot/ lowes sells some sort of clamp on fix sleeve type of deal for use on pvc. I don't really know the ins and outs of the parts, never really checked them to closely. I don't even know if they'd work for what you've got. But, just thought id throw it out there. I also know they sell marine caulk that is suppossed to work when wet, but I don't know if its reef safe or not.
