Seal self-cutting tap
larkim
for an outside tap kit on the cold water feed to my boiler. Its past
its best, and I'd like to remove.
How would one go about sealing the self cut hole? Presumably only
real option is to cut out the section of pipe and replace with new
pipe? Is this a job for push-fit? Of course, I could just leave well
alone!

Its entirely possible to replace it with a new one reusing the same hole if
thats what you want. I've done it a few times, just a matter of lining up
the cutting bit with the existing hole.

Use a pipe repair coupling

Cut about an inch out of the pipe where the hole is & slip it on. Simples!

If you have room to move one of the pipes by an inch or so (needed during
fitting) .. cut it and use a simple Hep20 slimfit push fit fitting
