Default 2" Galvi Pipe Leak
Made this repair today, were set to replace about 70' of this line that crosses the road in a trailer park. Going to run the new line with 2" Pex.

If you look close you can see the hole with the water bubbling through it.

That's it Paul, I had to max out the bolt thread just to get it to work, but got it.

Started the nuts and bolts on top side of the pipe, once I got the nut started on about two thread onto it, it was a b-itch to spin the clamp to the bottom side of the pipe.

These clamps are great. We have started to use these and really like them. They are called Hymax and Hyjoint Couplings.
