the problem is: i have rubber water pipe that is damaged . i have measured the pipe and its 12mm in diameter inside (the thread?). i want to cut the pipe and use a compression male and female to join the pipe together.

What kind of fitting is on it at the moment, and what is it attached to?

So could you consult the manufacturer or supplier regarding a replacement fitting, replacement hose, etc., rather than trying to fudge a solution....???

thanks in advance mse's

Compression fittings only play well on rigid pipe. You either need a connector specific to your tubing or a piece of straight pipe which fits snugly inside the tube and tighten down with jubilee clips.

Is the hose your referring to the outlet with the lance on it? If so thats going to be high pressure.
I don't think its going to be easy to make an effective repair if this is the case.

Would it be possible to insert a hollow spigot, inside both pieces to be joined, then reinforce the outside, so that the joint cannot burst?

I don't really know to be honest. I did work in a chap's house the other day that was doing just this and had a collection of failed joints on his workbench which gave me the impression that its not really going to be a reliable repair, especially when the hose is constantly moving and rubbing on a concrete floor.
I suppose its worth a try but I suspect it will end up a bit of a Heath Robinson affair.

If it's the high pressure hose, it's a crimped joint, anything else isn't going to be reliable. Even the repair you have suggested probably won't stop the joint blowing apart when you get the pressure surge when you release the trigger on the lance.
