Title: Pipe repair
Post by: NSR on November 19, 2009, 11:04:15 pm

What's the best way to strengthen a pipe to stop it from cracking?  As you can see it has been repaired a number of times which has made it bittle.
Thanks
Noel

Pipes usually crack because they are mounted to rigidly, I use a slip joint with springs on the header and rubber mount the pipe everywhere else.
