External threads of metal pipe (rusty/oxidized) broke off, and now I am unable to screw in new pipe?

Question

I was replacing the p-trap under my bathroom sink, and when I removed the nut attached to the wall pipe, it broke off some of the external threading. Now I am unable to screw in my new p-trap. Is there a way to fix this without a plummer. Also there is not enough room to use a rubber coupler I already tried that.

Answer 1

well, see the problem is, with the first answer, that you have screw threads for removing and repairing. if you jb weld it, then you cant do anything to it later. its permanent.
but you really really need to replace the pipe thats rusted. that way you wont have worse damage later. such as wood, ceramic, vinyl, or concrete or whatever you have. replacing it now will cause less money to be spent later. there is rust for a reason. a leak. and a leak will only find a new outlet later. which will be harder to fix due to the jb weld
and no im not a plummer tryin to help another plummer make money. i flip houses for profit.

Answer 2

If the part needing repaired is only a drain you can have success using an epoxy product like JB-Weld to patch it together.
If you can get the ends together use the epoxy putty to seal all of the way around the area. It sounds like you are limited in length in one direction so seal as far as you can that way and at least one half inch in the other direction. Keep the area clean, stable and dry for the amount of time stated on the package. There are many of these epoxy puttys specifically made for use where it will contact fluids. They sell these products an just about any store that has some kind of hardware or automotive section.

no matter if it really is a waste line and under no circumstances a provide line, you may want to apply what i have continuously comprehend as a fernco coupling. those are those rubber couplings with the screw clamps on both end. you could then go away the %contained in the forged iron and fix a sparkling piece of %. i have also considered %bumped off with a dremmel attachment to grind the %faraway from the forged iron. the first selection the following is extra elementary and also you gained't possibility breaking your solid iron pipe it really is brittle. besides the indisputable fact that that coupling isn't for use less than pressure, so no matter if it really is a provide line you won't be able to apply it. solid success with it.

Answer 4

If this J B weld doesn't work and your limited in space your going to have to take the long cut around. You'll have to make a hole in the wall to get at the pipe, then repair it, sorry but there's no real way to make a quick fix of this job.
