Is the leak coming from the elbow( that connection where you have wedged the tissue) or is it coming from above and running down the pipe.Hi. I’m a real idiot when it comes to diy stuff. Just a young kid who bought first house so trying to figure things out on my own. My plastic white pipe is leaking that comes from the boiler. Do I just buy some new pipe to replace?View attachment 46209
They are not push fit connections.They are solvent weldI would guess that the horizonal pipe is falling back and collecting at the elbow as there only push fit (could be glued) will not take must pressure you could try to pull apart and shorten the one coming down then refit elbow and make a fall to go outside (could also be a blockage causing elbow to leak.
I replaced the horizontal pipe and shortened the vertical one a little and added a new bend thing. But it’s still leaking from somewhere. The pipe at the top does feel wet but it’s not coming from where the pipe is connected to the boiler. Don’t no what to say reallyI would guess that the horizonal pipe is falling back and collecting at the elbow as there only push fit (could be glued) will not take must pressure you could try to pull apart and shorten the one coming down then refit elbow and make a fall to go outside (could also be a blockage causing elbow to leak.
Though lots of people like to use them as if they were push fitThey are not push fit connections.They are solvent weld
