I found a hole in a galvanized "T" in the trailer we just bought. Normally this wouldn't be a problem - I'd just remove two pipes and unscrew the "T", then replace it. However, this is located next to a stud where on of the pipes go though. I cannot access the rest of that line and can only access about a foot of the other lines. I do not want to use a compression fitting as I may have to get to it later and the only way would be to cut open the kitchen floor. Again.
Since this was caused by a cut, instead of rusting through, I was thinking of "J B Weld" or a product Lowe's sells where you soak a cloth in water for 20 seconds and wrap up the pipe, which wouldn't be easy, either, since it's next to the stud. Has anyone had success in repairing a galvanized pipe with either of these?
I've called a few welders who are reluctant to come out for a small job like this. After all, it would just be a few beads of weld.
Any advice would be appreciated.
