Can you use this to fix leaks in copper air conditioning pipe? And will it hold?

Go to HOME DEPOT. Tell them you need a new copper "FURL" for the air conditioning pipe. Get some white tape to wrap around the fitting before you tighten it with a wrench. The leak SHOULD be gone.

The white tape has a name I've forgotten. But the person who helps you will know, and probably suggest getting it.

Where is the leak? At a fitting or is it a small hole in the pipe? Where is this pipe, main line, evaporator, condenser?

Thanks Missileman. Guess my old mind is getting forgetful now.
Sometimes...things just slip on by.
Thanks again.

At a fitting...copper pipe that leads from the water heater to the roof. Fitting I think is stripped...wont loosen or tighten.

Now I really feel dumber than normal. What's a Swamp Cooler?

Evaporative cooler (desert cooler, wet air cooler ). Anyway...I tried the Epoxy Putty and it still leaks. May have to call a plumber or something.

Yeah. For sure the connection needs replaced if it's stripped.

And if it's AC I think the pressure is to great for tape or epoxy repair.
On the other hand I've never heard of a desert cooler. SO......my opinion sux. Just sayin

Well damn it! I thought duct tape fixed everything.

Everything but water.

Swamp coolers are low pressure...works like the misting fans you see on NFL sidelines, only it's a big square box that sits on top of the house. Draws air over mist and blows the cooled air into the house.

Figures. Comes in pretty fashion colors now though (incase you need to know that).
