Hole in water pipe

I have just made a tiny hole in a water pipe powered by a pump with a fork. Is there a way of fixing this hole or will I have to replace the whole pipe?

What's the pipe made out of?
And what is it for?
Must not be copper or PVC, or you wouldn't have been able to poke a hole in it with a fork!
(I have worked with lots of pipe![[nutz]](im/graemlins/nutz.gif)
! We have an excavation business and do a lot of plumbing, water lines, etc...)

It is made out plastic, the pipe takes pumped water from the bottom of gardern water stream/feature to the top of it. Thanks for your time

Well, if Andy were here he could answer this! He installed a pump, fountain, etc...for me a few days ago!
They probably sell some kind of repair kit for it to clamp over the hole.
Maybe someone else will come along who knows the answer. A lot here have water features, etc. in their yards.
I personally would go out there and duct-tape it into submission![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)
temporarily, but that's just me! I use duct tape for everything.
Duct tape is my friend!![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)

There is a waterproof sealer that is used on boats(we used it on the one we had). I think it is called "Mastic". It seems like I've seen a clamp made especially for pipes(similar to what you use in a car engine)that slips over the pipe and tightens down to seal it. Maybe one or the other or both would work.
Hope this helps!

There are also hose/pipe repair pieces that will allow you to cut the pipe completely in half and insert a fitting into either side and push the pipe back together. You would need to know the size of the pipe to get a piece that fits correctly and most hardware stores sell the fittings.
