my b pipe mid screw is broken off in the fitting :banghead:
former peoples tried to drill it a little
water test in the sink shows midscrew is about 3/4 to 1 turn open
who/how to fix (local machine shop not helpful)?
or just fill hole on the inside with JB Weld and use top and bottom?
Any advice?

hard to tell, is that screw broke flush, above or below the top of the hole??

why did it break?
were you trying to remove it?
Do you think its frozen in the hole?

If its broken flush or just above the hole I can get it out.

broke flush with the pipe and then it was started to be drilled
small piece sticking up from the drilling
I got it this way; no idea of the history
assume it is seized :shrug:
thanks!
 
I would JB weld over it on outside, then run top open some and close bottom....will work fine....bottom is not for bottom end close it.
