Leaky Pipe

I have a pinhole leak in a water pipe I intend to fix it tomorrow, do you think duct tape will hold it until then

Take a sheet of rubber and a clamp. Drag it and tighten it up. Then, you can expect the weekend to fix it if you want. If the water is shut off and the hose completely dry, the tape will probably start a leak in a short period of time. You can use a clamp on the tape.

Depends on the water pressure. The duct tape will leave a residue of glue on the pipe should be cleaned as well.

It depends on how fast the water comes out. Band usually does not go well with water.

NO! The water will cause the adhesive tape to fail eventually and you have to do another repair. He specializes available bandwidth for leaky pipes, but again, it is not designed for a permanent solution (although I have seen it left in place for years).

Secondly, if you have any pinhole leaks, is a sign of internal corrosion of piping. You'd better replace the section of pipe where the leak is from the pinhole corrosion is likely to occur elsewhere. Corrosion may be caused by many reasons, including poor production tricks. The best thing duct tape can do for you is to give you time to get to the center for the right repair materials.

It could perhaps one day depending on water pressure.

You probably need to replace the pipe, I think you already know.

The idea of a person mentioned seems pretty good, but I add. Close the tap for a bit, then get with Teflon tape and wrap it around the area with the pinhole. Then wrap a small piece of rubber around the pipe and use a little clamps that you can screw it tight to keep the rubber firmly in place over the holes. Between Teflon tape and rubber which should help provide a seal well enough until the pipe can be replaced tomorrow. I stick or a bucket and old towels under the leak case.

I have never seen the band repair pipes in a hardware store, but if you can find what might work as a temporary solution as well.

You can also check that you do not have two types of metal pipes that are interconnected as copper and galvanized. If so the difference in electric charge does not cause oxidation and galvanized steel pipe with rust. If this is the case you will need and isolated from the Union to maintain the difference over the metal away from other pipelines. And the EU isolated essentially uses a seal to keep the two different types of metal touching each other.
