A very important tip that people leave out is that PVC and CPVC connections to not bond together properly. It has to be a cpvc fitting for cpvc pipe or vice versa. If you don't do this then the pipe will blow out of one end of the fitting (Eventually).
Good tip on filing stops, can also use a compression tee available at most hardware stores
@MicahFunk
Жыл бұрын
The compression tee is what I use. Works best, especially if there is ANY water at all dripping through a pipe. If water dripping through a pipe you cannot get it to get very flexible because the evaporating water cools the area to quickly
Awesome! A pvc connection with a happy ending👍🏽 Great craftsmanship my friend!
I appreciate you getting straight to the point. But a much easier method is just to file out the stopper inside the T, then you can slide it fully onto one side, apply the primer and glue, then slide it over both sides. Very easy and no messing with a heat gun.

Pure genius! You have saved me several hours of work, because all of the jobs I do like this. I have been digging back 5' or so, in order to curl the pipe back to stab it in. Never thought about heating it. Surprisingly a lot of people dont know about curling back the pipe to stab it and instead, purchase expensive slip collars.

Thanks for taking time on video never heated a pipe before very interesting i always use repair coupling to make something like that work dresser coupling gd job looks good
Wow...i will definitely keep this in mind..
I gotta remember this one for sure!!
Great video advice! To determine the exact amount to cut out, I suggest marking the fitting on the outside, where the bump stops inside the fitting correlate to the outside of the fitting, (I personally don't do this after decades of working with pvc, so I, and obviously you, can just eyeball it),. Then hold the fitting up against the pipe and transfer the marks to the pipe. Should be perfect. That's for those who've never done this! Edit: you can also use a propane torch, you just have to be conservative and much more careful not to overheat the pvc...

Good tip. Had to do 5 breaks in the house i moved into. This method surely would have made things easier but now i knownfor future breaks.
Id say a safer way would be to File the stop out on the inside and use the T like a slip coupling. Heating pvc works but its easy to mess up or damage. Id do it with conduit but not a water line.
