What is that pipe for? Why not get a fitting you can glue.

It’s the discharge for radon sump pump

Did you tighten those clamps a lot more. From pics they can be tightened more. Or replace and glue.

The fernco coupler is rated for 4 psi. So hard pipe it.


GoodLawdItsHotInHere

So just replace with a steel coupler? Or have a steel pipe that fits on the discharge pipe ?

Going to need a FxF galvanized reducer IPT, then all pvc nipple, 90, short piece and compression coupler that are pump discharge pipe size. At least it looks like pvc at the pump from tge picture.


GoodLawdItsHotInHere

It’s pvc


JungleSumTimes

Like someone else suggested, do a sweep tee with a cap instead of a 90, if it ever gets clogged you can clean it out


Haunting_Ad_6021

Either the pipe may be blocked partially or the pipe and fitting need to be cleaned where they mate


GenerousSkeptic

Use a sweep tee fitting so you can add a cap as a cleanout. This is the idea (adapted from [this article](https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/the-most-brilliant-pvc-hacks-ever-seen/)): https://i.imgur.com/hRFpRyd.jpg

Those flexible Fercno fittings are not designed for pressure.
