they all appear the same from a distance.
This paint in the form of bands is applied on the rim of the...

Here is a fix which I have succesfully used in the past in our organisation.
Presumably the line is insulated.
Suggest you heat the pipe upto a temp of 300deg then make up the pump end connection, align the pump etc.
You may need to provide more insulation than necessary to reduce...
rshook,
