I use one of those plumbing boots they use when joining different material (ie: cast to abs etc.) Also helps to cut down on the noise from vibration, Petes has quite a selection in stock, if you need a hand give me a call.

I think the vibration of the pump has broken the glue seal around the flex hose where it fits into a true union.

Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening again. Should I replace the flex with PVC? Will a glued PVC joint hold up to the vibration better than a glued flex to PVC joint? The pump is a Reeflo Barracuda and vibrates pretty good. Or maybe there is some sort of sealant that I can seal around the glue joint? |
