Hi All,

We have the condensate line for our AC soldered directly into a copper riser that drains 2 of our bathrooms. There's no Tee or anything, was just a hole cut into the riser with the condensate soldered right in at a 90. Not surprisingly, there's now a leak at that connection. Thinking of using J-B Weld to patch the leak, but wasn't sure which type I need. Is it the WaterWeld, SteelStik, that original 2-part epoxy, something else?

Thanks!
 
Original is a reasonable choice. Expect it to readily fail, because that is a terrible method.
It is not legal to have a direct connection to sewer line (HEALTH HAZARD)...it is supposed to be via an air-gapped route or to outdoors.

Thank you! Yeah this is just a patch to fix up the leak while that gets re-routed.
