ABSTRACT:
A typical pinhole leak that has occurred along the flue pipe of a water heater is quickly and effectively repaired by employing a spring-tempered, sealant-coated cylindrical repair section that is first coaxially positioned inside the flue pipe in a compressed position and that is subsequently triggerably released to spring to an expanded position whereby a permanent sealant layer is formed between the cylindrical repair section and the flue pipe.
