    no, you do not. it is designed to clamp over and stop a leak. not designed for a long term solution.

        Saved Me from a Major Plumbing Headache!
        I had a leaking 3/4-inch copper pipe connected to my water heater and needed an emergency fix. This clamp worked like a charm! Installation was a pain because I had very limited space between the pipe and the wall. I ended up using channel-lock pliers to squeeze the clamp into place. Once it snapped shut, the leak stopped completely, even under normal water pressure. No cutting, soldering, or expensive plumber needed! The clamp fit tightly and created an excellent seal. It's intended as an emergency repair, so I'll eventually replace the damaged pipe section, but for now, it saved me a huge headache. Highly recommended for emergency pipe leaks! Definitely worth five stars!

          The repair clamp did exactly what it needed to do. It helped off a water drip from and overhead pipe located in the ceiling space on the first floor.

          I had a pin hole in my 3/4 water pipe. I needed an emergency quick temporary repair. This temporary repair clamp was perfect for the temporary repair. I highly recommend.

          Works great to temporarily stop small leaks
          Had a pinhole leak in a copper pipe that was actively flooding our basement. This emergency kit was able to stop the leak long enough to get a plumber scheduled to fix the issue.

            I drilled a hole into the baseboard copper heat pipe. This device easily sealed the leak 100% allowing me to keep the heat on while i waited for the plumber to arrive for a permanent repair. It took the heat no problem and was on the pipe 6 hours.

            Great temporary bandaid!
            We had a pinhole leak in the crawl space that was getting pretty serious. This kept the leak to a very rare drop instead of a full on spray. Installation was super simple. I turned off the water just in case. Cleaned the pipe with some towel and sandpaper. Clamped it on and turned on the water. Kept it on for a couple days until our plumber could come permanently fix it. Allowed us to keep the water on the whole time.

              The Rothenberger Kibosh emergency Pipe Repair did the job, but don't let the pictures on the back of the package fool you. You can't close it with one hand, it was quite the mission to get it on the pipe. It did slow my leak to a drip instead of a full on gusher.
