leaking weeping tile joint

jeff_40 | Posted in General Discussion on

I recently installed a sum pit. I has to use a coupling to join the old 3” and the new 4” corrugated pipe (3” is no longer sold here).

I tested the line and the plastic coupling leaks alot. Does anyone have any suggestions how to seal the joint? Will polyurethane sealant work, or perhaps melting it together?
