Joining plastic pipe and tap

[Otter Spotter]

My Grey water tap keeps leaking from the joint between tap and the corrugated pipe. I have used PTFE tape wrapped around the tap end, amalgamating tape to hold the tap to the pipe and then to seal together some Gaffer tape. With all this it still weeps water. Does anyone have a better method of fixing ?

Have you tried using sikaflex or similar. Just check the neither the pipe or the fittings are split, if not gunge them up !! It's not under pressure so should seal it up just fine

I just have a jubilee clip around mine. It doesn't leak.

Cut off a required lenth of rubber hose pipe slice down the middle place on pipe with jubilee clip and a bit lsx Plummer paste if need be .

My old outlet was so knarled and patched I sikaflexed it closed and fitted a new tank connector more easily accessible
