Hey guys, I was doing some work inside the tank stand and nudged my sump a tiny bit to the left... in doing this... the sump forced the down pipe to the side a bit and it was enough to cause the down pipe's bulkhead to start leaking :headwally:
I tried to hand tighten the bulkhead but to no avail because it was slipper w/ the water dripping down... immediately turned off the sump, and siphoned the water out of the internal overflow box.
So now my sump is off and all the water is out of the overflow... no more leaking.
But... I have no idea how to tighten the bulkhead... I'm home alone right now so I don't have anybody holding the top end (which is connected to a durso pipe). I can't just tighten the bottom w/o somebody holding the top.
Anybody ever overcome this? Is there a tool out there that will clamp down on the top while I tighten the bottom? Thanks in advance !!! :mixed:
