I made a tool for this years ago by turning a piece of wood to a stepped cone with stages the outside diameter of 1/2 to 3 inch to let me flare all the various diameter of the pipe I use. You can even make an adapter to couple the pipe to the next larger diameter. You can't stretch it much farther than that without making it too thin.

Just surfing youtube and this got my attention. Im retired AWS inspector and figured I would put my 2cents in . We have been welding PVC for many years. In the petroleum industry it is done by holding the two ends against a hot flat plate and bringing them to a melting point and quickly joining them together. There is a procedure and certification process for this weld.

Thanks Bobby, petroleum products probably act as a solvent for PVC adhesives, so I can only imagine the problems that you had. And each join would be pressure tested? Thanks for the 2cents:)

This weld procedure and application is only used in areas of non corrosive no heat, and not under certain pressures. The testing of these welds is the same as steel. The tensile strength is as good as some steels, depending on the wall thickness of the PVC. The most dangerous aspect of Polyvinyl chloride is the fumes from ignition and burning. Deadly! I haven't been in the loop for many years but I would imagine that joining PVC has come a long way. The use and application of joining materials is being done by high frequency sound these days' When I became a welder in the 60s there were no rules and guidelines for testing. After the Alaskan oil pipeline had so many problems. Getting welders certified and tested was a major problem. Documentation and inspection were non existent. The American Welding Society was created to be the worlds leading inspection and testing of all welding procedures. Thw AWS Inspector writes procedures and certifies all welders all over the world and has become the standard for every Country. Sorry, I have climb down off my box! LOL

This may be a good way to remove a pipe from a fitting as well. I currently have a 1" pvc pipe piece cemented inside a 1" pvc tee fitting that if I can remove it, I can just cement my new 1" pvc pipe into it. I'll keep this in mind. I did see a video where they removed a pipe piece 3 different ways. The first was by cutting 4 slots in the inner pipe and then trying to chisel it out with a screw driver. The second was by adding primer to the pipe and lighting it with a torch to soften the material. That worked and the 3rd way and the best way according to the video provider was by heating up a stainless steel pipe just big enough to fit inside the pvc pipe and heating the steel with a torch. Then just work out the pvc pipe.

I will have to heat an adaptor just like you show to I can fit a smaller hose adaptor on the end of a 32mm diameter pipe. I believed that the outside diameters like you said in the video are 40 and 32 mm. Those are actually the internal diameters of these solvent weld pipes so you have to add the pipe wall thickness (x2) to have the true outside diameters which ends up not being a standard adaptor size. I could not source such an odd size adaptor so hopefully this method will allow me to push my pipe (36.4 mm outside diameter) into the adaptor which needs to be stretched.

Thanks Dave, seems our UK waste plastic pipe size denominations differ to our own UK copper pipe denominations where for example copper pipe designated 15mm, 22mm and 28mm are the outside diameters. Buying many so called 32mm or 40mm plastic waste pipes in the the past has never been an issue as the elbow and straight connectors purchased at same time fitted without issue and didn't need to measure the internal or external diameters. Your French pipes with external 32/40 mm diameter would have made my task in trying to find an adaptor to fit a slightly smaller size plastic flat hose (for a pump) easier. The adaptor I used was for a vacuum cleaner but of different plastic material to that of the solvent weld/pvc waste piping you heated in your video. It did stretch a little under heat but I didn't want to stress it too much so finished off filing and sanding out the inner diameter a little more until it would take the 32mm pipe which was glued in. I should finally add that I did practise your method on a piece of plastic waste pipe beforehand which worked well and gave me the confidence to try it out on the vacuum adaptor. Thanks for sharing your technique with all on KZread.

haven't yet tried that Michael, should be interesting although I think some "kinking" would be the result if the curve is too great

NICE !

Thanks Dave, I'm glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for the video. I don't have a hot air gun and sometimes work in a location without electricity. I wonder if it might be possible to use a butane torch?

You're welcome Dave! Look at "preceptor's" comment below. He used the exhaust from his truck to soften the PVC. I have used old cement bags and newspaper to make a fire and held the pipe over it. You have to keep rotating it. Butane torch is too much heat and the PVC will scorch.

@@davekennedy52 actually I’m a electrician 20yrs now and I’ve always used a butane torch to make bends and off sets in pvc all the time. Don’t get me wrong u will torch it fast if u get too close. Key is to keep proper distance with the torch about 3-5 in away from tip of flame and constantly rotate. It’s way faster then using are green lee warmer to bend pvc and faster than using the heat gun too.

@@pate669 Must admit my attempts with a butane torch were a disaster. Kept on scorching the pipe! I think I must have been too close. Thanks for your advice:)

Great idea!

If you bevel the outside of your cold tool pipe and the inside of the future female pipe before heating, you can do this job in half the time

Thanks for your comment Emmett, a few people have suggested that, and its a great idea

you should have said you need to think about the direction of flow of water as in this video it from the left (inner) pipe to the right one

Yeah, because flow in the direction of the,"Male," would cause cavitation.

To REALLY affect the flow, this should be used several times. Used once, the additional pressure drop will be negligible.
