I am installing new toilets in the heads. Not usually an intellectual experience but I have a problem. The 1.5" shields sanitation hose does not move much from it's original dimensions no matter what you do to it. I needed to make a 90deg turn in less than 5" so I used a 90deg elbow. For the life of me I cannot get that hose to tighten around the elbow. I think if I torque the hose clamp any tighter it will break. Has anyone had this problem and how did you fix it? Can you use plumbers putty? Silicone caulk? 4200? Any ideas?
