Great video bob, love to see hands on videos on how a pro does it.

Super helpful. Any DIY plumber will run into these type of problems eventually, and knowing the right tool and technique is critical.

You are so welcome! Much appreciated. Bob

I used a 1" wood chisel I already had in my tool box. Drove it inside the nipple, and used a small Cresent to turn it. Works every time.

Hi Bob Thank you for making this video. It probably saved us a small fortune. I did notice that the Husky Internal Pipe Cleaner extractor worked better when the inside of the broken pipe was very clean and using a socket and wrench made progress much faster. The broken pipe did not move at first however persistence finally pulled it out of the brass flange. Do not give up trying to remove the broken piece and you will be successful. Thank you. Barry

Thank you for the demonstration. I busted a nipple with one of those extractors you don’t recommend and then bought the other extractor that you don’t recommend and it didn’t grip. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Now I’m going to hunt down a good one.👍🏼

Nice video Bob. Thanks for sharing sir.

Great video. I've see this done in person, now I can watch over and over so I can perform step by step and fix my frozen nipple.

I tried the Harbor Freight version of "D" and it snapped part of the nipple, so I just wound up taking a hack saw blade and cutting the rest out. Thank's for the video, it was very helpful.

I don’t think you mentioned it in the video and it may be irrelevant to most people but A and D are what I would call internal pipe wrenches. The difference being, an internal pipe wrench can tighten as well as loosen. I’ve used the A version with some success as long as it’s not too tight. The C ones are worthless. I don’t think they could get out a hand tight nipple. It’s funny you mention B and D as what you use because the guy I learned under had those. With the type B, we didn’t call them nipple extractors. We called them ease outs. As for D, what I would call an internal pipe wrench, it is hands down the best. I wish I knew where to get some. I looked online a few years ago and found one but they wanted $80 for one. I’ve gotten along fine without it so I’m not paying that much. Anyway they called it something else. I wanna say they called it some sort of pipe vice. Whatever the wording was I got the impression it was used to thread short nipples. Nipples less than 6” where a normal threading vice won’t work

Great advice. I have used the cut out method on drain pipe and worked well. This time I have a half inch steel water pipe with nipple broken about a quarter inch inside the pipe.

Hi, Bob. Thanks for your video. Do you have advice for installing a brass close nipple in a wall (slightly recessed) for mounting a flush tub spout. Do they make these with reverse threads to install/tighten a nipple?

@BobsPlumbingVideos

2 жыл бұрын

To my knowledge I've never seen a reverse extractor. I basically mount the nipple to the spout and tighten it by hand. You may have to step up to a shoulder nipple or greater depending on the wall thickness . Also depends on how much Teflon you're using as to how tight it gets.

Greetings! Would you know if such a tool exists for removing 3" Threaded PVC? I had such a situation when the Waste Tank Dump Gate Valve on our RV got hit by Road Debris, breaking off the threads inside the Waste Tanks Female end! With great difficulty I used Channel-Locks to remove it, am hoping that something similar to this exists for larger diameters!

The husky tools are hit or miss. I wouldnt trust their internal pipe wrench set, but ive seen some sets that look the same but are 2-3x as much so id imagine they have solid brands for those

When you go on about removing the broken piece, how do you remove the broken piece off the extractor?

@BobsPlumbingVideos

Twist it is the opposite direction, it'll come right off.

What can I do if the broken piece is not intact. Like if the broken piece is remnants of a rotted galvanized pipe in a brass elbow. How can I remove the debris lodged in the threads?

@tenders

I just did this yesterday and used an NPT-thread tap. They’re a little hard to find but I got a set at Harbor Freight that has come in very handy. You engage the rotted stub with the tap and either power through it, or engage it enough so that when you back the tap up every quarter of a turn, the stub comes along with it.

Excellent video! Question, can I use the Walton tool for a broken shower arm, or should I only use the superior tool or gooseneck?? I ordered both, but the Walton is coming sooner

@cedr777 DeNiro is an elitist asshat that believes "guns for me but not for thee." Mr.Sessa,God bless him and his family,does not strike me as an elitist.DeNiro doesn't believe that law abiding Americans should be armed and thus have the ability to defend their loved ones and themselves but it's perfectly acceptable for him and his communist left-leaning flunkies to own firearms.I have no regard or respect for anyone that believes that his/her life is so much more important than the lives of everyone else and therefiore more deserving of protection than everyone else.To add insult to injury DeNiro is a multi millionaire that can easily afford armed body guards which from what I understand DeNiro does have.DeNiro owns firearms and has a firearms permit,this from a man such as DeNiro that has made his fortune from movies depicting him using all manner of fireamrs yet this man,DeNiro,believes that everyone else except for him and his communist left-leaning flunkies should be denied the right to be armed to defend their family and themselves should the need ever arise.As a licensed locksmith in NYC I am authorized to modify,open and repair locks on government buildings if I am called to do so but even with a clean record such as mine and having passed background checks NYC legislators do not deem me law abiding enough to own and carry a firearm,how's that fior a great big kick in the ass?Here in PA I applied for,passed a background check and received a LTCF (License To Carry Firearms.).In NYC you have to hire a lawyer and spends thousands of dollars to apply for a firearms permit which you very well may not get after having spent several thousand dollars plus the application fee for a firerarms permit which alone will cost you several hundred dollars that are non-refundable when you get denied a firearms permit.Here in PA a LTCF costs only twenty dollars and is good for five years.I left NYC going on over thirteen years ago because of how extremely dangerous and extremely expensive NYC is and I thank God (blessed and praised be HIs name,Amen.) I had the means with which to leave NYC because NYC is now worse than it ever was.Last I heard on the news crime and shootings in NYC have increased by one hundred and seventy five percent in spite of NYC having some of the most restrictive gun laws in America,that is because the communist left-leaning tyrants running NYC only care about protecting the criminals and to hell with law abiding Americans that happen to live in NYC.It should come as no surprise to anyone why people are leaving NYC in droves because NYC has become a shit hole in every sense of the word.Over a million NYC residents dependent on food pantries now and the scumbag tyrant cuomo seen on national television begging the rich to return to NYC offering to cook dinner for them,have them over to his house for coffee and offering to take them out to lunch at his own expense huh?The people of NYC have nobody but themselves to blame for the sorry state that NYC is in because the people of NYC keep voting for self serving egotistical,ego-maniacal tyrants such as cuomo and his ilk.Here in PA we have crime but nothing remotely akin to what the crime is in NYC because here in PA we law abiding Americans are well armed unlike NYC where people have allowed their so-called elected officials to disarm them and turn all the people of NYC into potential victims,good luck with that because the supreme court has and continues to rule that police have no Constitutional duty/obligation to defend/protect anyone,read it for yourself.: mises.org/power-market/police-have-no-duty-protect-you-federal-court-affirms-yet-again#:~:text=%E2%80%9CNeither%20the%20Constitution%2C%20nor%20state%20law%2C%20impose%20a,at%20the%20University%20of%20Florida%20School%20of%20Law.

Sorry, a troll here. You are making these processes far more difficult then necessary. I fully respect where you are coming from, but even the crap extractors you pointed out can work most of the time for residential plumbing fixes. Nipples typically don’t break off like the sawed off examples depicted. And your not going to have the opportunity to hold a fitting in a Rigid head to secure the fitting.
