Sealing. Use stove pipe cement or caulking material rated for use with a wood stove. The cement must be able to withstand high temperatures. Clean the area with a wire brush prior to sealing to remove any rust or debris. After the pipe is cool to the touch, use a putty knife to scoop up the cement mixture and apply to any holes or leaks.
Turn on the water supply and check if the leak is fixed. If it is not, turn the water supply off again and remove the water supply lines. Wipe the male threads on the connector with a dry cloth and apply 2 to 3 wraps of Teflon tape around them. Reconnect the water supply lines, turn on the water, and check for leaks.
Turn the water off to the leaky copper water pipe elbow. Allow the water to drain away from the elbow joint by turning a water faucet on that is below the leaky joint in elevation. Wipe residual water away from the leaky joint so the copper pipe is dry. Light a BernzOmatic torch and place the flame directly onto the leaky joint.
