Thanks very much Bob. Your hint about using a pipe to tubular coupling saved me a lot of anguish when I had to redo my drain when we installed a new deeper kitchen sink. The old galvanized nipple going to the trap was rotten at the brass elbow and a bit too long for the trap to fit. Cutting the nipple back and installing the coupling worked perfectly. Mind you that I like my plumber friend but I can't shed my DIY addiction. Thanks again.

Wow. Thank you Bob for opening my mind and solving my problem. I have a rusty undergrond 1/2 inch galvanized water feeder line extending into my back yard which long ago had been capped off (leading to no where). Recent sewer digging upset the pipe causing it to leak along its course. I cut out the leaking section (about 6") with the intention of simply capping it, since the end is not threaded. I thought that I could grind it off at the end and epoxy a pvc cap on it. That didn't work. It leaks. The no hub coupling looks like a good fix. Thank you. Don in Davis, Ca.

Very little choice when working with 3/4" galvanized pipe. This video demonstrates how to transition between waste pipe which is not pressurized. If you can't get a thread onto the galvanized water line, my only thought would be a 3/4" "dresser coupling" which I would not recommend for a permanent solution. I use them to make temporary repairs until I can thread and make a permanent fix.

The question is :what drain pipes were MOST common in North East houses? The pix I get from my brother look as if the pipe is a cast mold. Galvanized? Could it be Iron? Probably will cut it after the P-trap and put the black boot on it... Your thoughts

@BobsPlumbingVideos

3 жыл бұрын

Most likely galvanized iron pipe, cut it back if you have decent wall thickness around the pipe use the correct size no hub coupling.

Do you have any videos for dealing with galvanized pipes that are rusting, and starting to leak? I have a basement 3/4" pipe that has a rust 'bump' that has a drip. I was trying to decide between (1) wire brushing the rust bump down to level it with the pipe, and then using a compression clamp like maybe a (3/4" x 6" Stainless Steel Dresser Handiband Repair Clamp) ... versus ... (2) sawing about 2" of the rusted section of galvanized out, and then replacing the rusted section with a 4" long, galvanized iron Compression Coupling. Or, (3) my other idea, since I already have a older clamp that is getting rusty, about 6 feet from the newer drip, maybe cutting about 6 feet of galvanized pipe out, then using two compression couplings (one at each end), and then putting a galvanized nipple pipe, and a "shark bite" pex fitting at each end, and then placing about 6 feet of pex, in place of the removed 6 feet of galvanized. (I am guessing I would need to support the pex somehow, since it would be around 6 feet long, running in parallel to 2 rafter joists in the basement). After watching your video, it looks like I could use those no hub coupling also? Or would the weight of the longer run of galvanized preclude using no hub couplings? Or, maybe just require some more support also?

@BobsPlumbingVideos

Жыл бұрын

The video is for drain lines only (no pressure), no -hub couplings are specifically for drain lines. If you're talking water pipe (pressurized) I would be inclined to cut out the bad section and replace it with either new galvanized pipe or c.p.v.c. (if legal ) in your jurisdiction. SharkBite fitting is the quickest way to do it, but here in N.Y.C., we're not allowed to use them. You'll definitely need to support the c.p.v.c. if that's the way you want to go. Not 100% sure on this but I believe for a 1/2" pipe you'll need a 3/4" shark bite fitting. If you don't want to open a can of worms, the pipe clamp method may save you some headaches.

I have a 1 1/4" pvc p-trap and I need to transition to the 1 1/2" metal pipe coming out of the wall. I have a neoprene gasket (it's probably been there for 10 to 30 yrs) that was joining the former metal p-trap of 1 1/4" diameter using the 2 torque coupling screws. It worked previously, but now I've replaced the metal p-trap with PVC and it leaks. I'm afraid to tighten the torque screw more for fear it will crack the pvc pipe. Can you give me any hints as to why it might be leaking now when the only thing I've done is switch to a pvc p-trap of exactly the same size as the metal?

+KidsandKarma First, are you using the existing gasket/rubber coupling? Does it have a stainless steel band or is it all rubber?If it is existing, I would A. use a new one, B. I personally don't clamp light gauge plastic "p" traps (it'll smash). Does the pipe coming out of the wall have thread's on it? If not, you might want to use a short piece of 1 1/2" p.v.c. pipe and a 1/1/2" male adapter. Clamp it onto the pipe coming out of the wall with an 1 1/2" no-hub coupling. Use an 1 1/2" X 1 1/4" coupling nut and gasket, slip the 1 1/4" p.v.c. trap into the male adapter and tighten the nut and gasket. You should be good to go!

After putting the thread tape on the nipple you said to use joint compound. Any recommendations here? I'm just putting a new nipple in and putting the tube in with a nut and washer.

PVC is for drainage lines, for pressure you need to use c.p.v.c. And you would need to use a combination of I. P. S. ( screw) to glue c.p.v.c. Fittings. No no-hub couplings. They are not meant for high pressures.

This is ideal for sink drain lines correct?? With no pressure. I have a friend that has a kitchen sink and every time they drain the sink it starts leaking behind the wall and this looks like it might be ideal.
