And that, Sir, is an Excellent point! Hadn’t considered that particular scenario. I was still in assembly and “please don’t leak” mode with all of the plumbing work I’ve been up to.
If I knew exactly how that pipe is connected to the tank, I might consider removing it, cleaning up around the outlet and reseating and resealing it. But not wanting to jump from the frying pan into the fire, I think I will limit myself to clean and seal and support. But definitely going to put a cut in that pipe and use the rubber sleeve to help with the alignment problem.
If it isn’t raining tomorrow, that will hopefully complete the last job on the plumbing list.
