Help Cracked Pipe.

The pipe for the grey water froze and cracked. It's where the pipe goes into the swivel part of the sewer connection it's about 3 or 4 inches long. I learned a lesson on making sure all the grey water is out of that pipe. Never had that issue on on my fifth wheel. Is there anything that can repair it or will I need to replace it. I am pretty handy but I am no plumber. Thanks a lot. 2016 Axis 25.2

I would try a flexible rubber sleeve with two clamps at the top and bottom. Cut out where the spit is and then put the sleeve on making sure you have enough space to tighten the clamps. I would probably hold for a long time or just until you could have a new piece of pipe cut and fitted. I had a pvc pipe on my sump pump at home, break and that is what a plumber told me to do. It has held up for 10 years so not changing it.

Flex Glue, then Flex Seal, then Flex tape. Phil guarantees that repair will hold!

I did use the Flex Tape on a "temporary" repair on a pool skimmer. That was 2 years ago. The tape is under the water line for 2 years.
You would absolutely need a jackhammer to pull it off. Temp. Repair turned into Permanent repair. Seems to be similar type tape as the Dicor roll. It worked for me. Clean surface with Isopropyl Alcohol First.

Thanks a lot. I might use both the flex tape and the rubber sleeve. Thanks again
