Question

How do I drill a***e in my fibreglass pond for outlet pipe, and what do I use tomake sure it dosn't leak after

Answer 1

mastic will seal it

Answer 2

You will either need to buy a hole cutting drill from Screwfix or borrow one with a suitable drill, make sure you get the correct size for the pipe.

Assuming you have the pipe you will need a coupling fitting which will s***w together from inside your pond with rubber washers into which the pipe will fit perhaps it wouild be better to speak to a local plumber who would probably fit this quickly

for you and save all the hassle

Answer 3

Get an adjustable sized holesaw attatchment for your drill, and use silicone sealant on the washers where the fitting makes contact with the fibreglass.

Answer 4

Purchase a bulk-head fitting with the size piping you will be using. Use a hole-saw to cut the hole. The bulk-head fitting has a rubber seal to prevent leaks.

Answer 5

First go to a Plumbing supply store and buy a bung hole fitting,yes it's called a bung hole.they come in all sizes 1/2 or 3/4 inch will probable do. It should come as a self sealing fitting.then from it you can run your pipe.
