You are an absolute godsend. I have attached my (high pressure) pool to pump supply lines three ties now - every time, the line blew off and sprayed water everywhere (the joint failed). Your video totally reminded me to use primer! Rookie mistake!!

big stores should sponser your video. For someone that doesn't know how to use every single connection out there, this video was extremely helpful.

Although it was a great idea at first, sadly it did not work out for me. Perhaps I grind a little too much but I did add plenty of PVC glue and let it dry for 24 hrs as indicated. Luckily for me, I had no obstruction on either side of the repair - I just had to do it the old way. Thanks for sharing anyways!

This is absolutely the best video and information when you have a very small work place to make this type of repair………..👏

My exact situation! Good idea to pre-mark full extension and bend the applicator! Thanks for the video!

If it’s connected to straight pipe you can turn water on immediately. If you ran it into a 45* or 90* give it 30 mins to an hour for 1” or smaller. The pressure pushes outward so the straight pipe doesnt want to separate whereas a corner get pressed as the outward pressure applies here(hope this makes sense) Bigger stuff, 2” plus, try to let set over night.

I always recommend 1-1/2 or 2. Don't cover your work yet. Test your work, no leaks, success. Sometimes depending on the product, instructions gives you specific times and when are considered cured safely to use. Depending on the diameter and pressure pvc. I remember the last freeze we had around 2021, the product label was set at 4 hours which was weird. Due to the cold freeze I took the advantage of turning on the next day. No leaks.

Theres a gasket inside. You should extend all the way if possible but Ive had some fall a little short and had no issue. Just extend as much as possible.

There are 2 rubber o rings in them ! My first time to try!

this will eventually fail due to the rubber gasket inside the coupler. I don't recommend using it. depend on your location. a plumber used it to repair a waterline and it failed within a year. Had to dig up the whole thing and do it properly. So far it held up 6 years and counting...

What did you successfully replace it with? Im getting a major leak and one is installed by previous owner. Im thinking about doing some elbows like I've seen in other videos.

I sanded down the stops in a coupler where it will BARELY slide on without glue (had to muscle it). Think I got the idea from electrinicsNmore from KZread. I dug out a bigger hole so I have room to work in. I cut out a bigger section about 15inches of pipe. Put a coupler to the existing pipe. The slip the coupler without stops on the pipe. I put a tons of pvc cement on the joint and slide the coupler to join the 2 sections. So far no issues. I would also pack sand over and under it so it doesn’t crack in the future. Good luck

I tried this and of your pipe isn’t really straight it will still leak.

Two no-stop slip couplings will be cheaper and more durable!

You would never see PLASTIC water supply pipes, that near to the soft soil surface in Britain.
