I don't think this repair will last long. If I were doing this repair, I'd still cut the pipe up and down where the split was, and replace the cut part pipe.
This is a BS repair. Never gonna hold.
Wrong. It'll hold just fine. Especially since it's not even a pressure fitting.
This is exactly what I wanted know, the crack on the pipe joint to be fixed. Thanks for the wonderful video which is very helpful. We all know it is a temp solution, but definitely a reliable quick fix. Thanks!!
Great to hear it helped you! Thanks for visit my channel!
I knew this video would be helpful as soon as I saw it was a buildup! I was like is that my house! I’m not a plumber so this seems like an awesome idea to me since I don’t want to have to cut a bunch of stuff and it just a small leak. Here goes something! Thanks!
Thank you!
All that work to do it wrong. Just change out the 45…
You right. But only if they want to do it and pay for it.
That's awesome! I'll try it. Quick question - can I use the premium yellow abs cement instead of the black midium? I have the same problem where its leaking at the abs elbow joint (3 inch waste pipe), and the previous owner used abs putty to seal the leak. I'm trying to remove the old putty, but there's still a bit left because the pipe is in a very small area that is hard to work in. So if leave a few cm of putty on it, would it matter? This would probably mean the ring would not close. Thanks a lot!
You should only use black cement! Try to remove all foreign putty and debris from the glued areas. You can use files, saw blade, chisel, etc, just scrape the debris down to clean black plastic pipe, otherwise the abs cement won't stick and can't glue it.
@@FixitAll Thanks for the speedy reply and sorry in advance for the long comment! I’ve tried to clean off the old putty but it is not easy - the main problem is the pipe is located in a very tiny place with little room/space. In fact, I cannot even see the old putty directly. It is on the backside of the pipe, and the pipe is only 1 cm away from the drywall. I can only touch it whilst blind, and the only way to see it is by using a mirror to see its reflection. If I can't completely get rid of the old putty, would it be better to use something else like the J-B WaterWeld epoxy? (The old putty is on an area without any cracks, and is located at least 1 cm away from the crack. I really like your ring idea and originally wanted to use it even with old putty left on the pipe.) Or can I use an ABS 4/3 flexible coupling (after cutting the 3” vertical pipe)...but the top part of the elbow joint (Hub part) is not exactly 4 inches and should be around 3.9. Would it still work? (I can’t saw off the horizontal part (including the elbow ) as this is a 90 degree elbow: Hub x Spigot. Or do you have any other suggestions? Let me know if pics would be helpful. Thanks again for all your advice!!
Picture will help me, are you in the USA?

@@FixitAll I don't have Facebook so I tried sending the photos to your email (listed on your work pages). Sorry for the inconvenience!
do you really need the sliver if abs on top? wouldnt just throwing on some glue do the same thing?
As you can see in the beginning of the video, 0:09, there are below has 3" main sewer line from the rest of the house. This bottom pipe become heavy when large amount of water flashing through. So better to glue in the sleeve to make more holding down support.
While creative, I would not have wanted that kind of repair if I were paying for it.
Thats a bonus and free of charge.
@@FixitAll did this for free or they didn't want to pay too much?
@@apex007 Probably a loyal/generous client.
I had a lot of problems with ABS pipe. This pipe starts to crack after being exposed to the sun. I'll start converting them to buteline PE.
Never heard about "buteline PE" in US stores.
👍👍👍 знатная заплатка,мощная
thank you saved me 2 hours in crawl space and behind a 2x6
Glad it helps!
Молодец!
This is four months later... Do you still have all of your fingers? The way you handle sharp chisels, knives and sawzalls is pretty reckless.
It will stay glued forever!
I am a 56 y/o and all my tools works in my hand very well.
@@FixitAll Hey, I've worked with all these tools for decades, but know numerous folks who have lost fingers. I play guitar, so cringe when I see stuff like this. It's all good, until it isn't. But to each their own :o)
Mines not cracked and mine is horizontal, mine is the 3" Pipe and is a Sweep T section coming from the upstairs bathroom ( also there is a wash room next door up there ). the Horizontal pipe with the 3inch sweep going Up to the toilet and bathtub drains. On the left side of the Horizontal T DOWN STAIRS is leaking into the kitchen cieling, I cut a hole in the sheet rock directly under it. I can see that the leak is at the bottom most rim of the Left side where it overlaps the straight pipe section. Looks to me like the person that installed it went way litt on the abs glue at the bottom, the bottom is the only place it leaks even at full capacity with the toilet flushed and bath running and both sinks. no water from top or sides and everything seems clear as New pipes ( I took the toilet out to inspect it from upstairs , it's straight and clean as a whistle. I just got back from the store with a few options to try but I am also doubting myself presently as I have no way to force the glue into that lower flange on the T - I'm a little afraid that I dont have it dry enough inside there. It;s pretty obvious to me that the opening must be about 1/4 inch for that much water to be trickling out like it is. maybe slightly less but definitely a clear path.
I can imagine a perfect too; for it :0) I was thinking of something that could around the flange that could be pressurized just a bit. so that a ABS Black Oaty glue could be insured to fill that spot the water is making a path thru. sadly, I have not seen anything of the kind. so i might make one probably be 1 time use - cut the end off of a syringe install a small rubber fuel line, use some sort of super sticky putty to seal off the leak and inject it with the abs glue.
I also got a couple of collar type fittings to chop up and try though, and a very large PIPE tape type clamp. my brains running 100 mph and have never done any of this yet. GRRRR
Nice to hear you got it fix!
@@FixitAll nope not fixed yet. I am still sitting here contemplating what to try 1st.
Im in the exact same predicament here today. 3” abs sanitary tee leaking in same spot as yours. I have cut away so much drywall in a formerly perfect basement ceiling only to find that I dont have enough room to cut out the leaker and re-pipe it because the upstairs sink drain piping and elbow is literally butted up against the subfloor. Contemplating the Black ABS cement to use as a temporary “fix” because Im betting its gonna be $1k plumbing job for one minuscule leak. Dammit anyways…. The joys of homeownership.
If you apply a layer of this ABS cement every 2-3 hours on the crack, then after 5-6 smearing, you will get a rather thick patch of glue.
@@FixitAll i cut a .5 inch ring off of a cheap flange i got at the hardware store. I beveled the inside edge with a dremmel cut off wheel to a skinny point with a inside L mark in the middle. I cut the ring I made in one place diagonally - I also bought a Metal pipe clamp with a stainless screw, I warmed up the abs "C" Beveled ring with friction from my hands and i puled it open carefully and pushed it onto the pipe that goes into the flange on the Sweeping T so that the bevel faced the flange, I installed the pipe clamp so it was loose but just barley. I heavily coated the entire flange gap all the way around, forced the C ring into the gap with the diagonal cut at the very top of the flange coated the c ring, scootched the clamp on made sure it was in the gap all teh way round, tightened the clamp, tapped it all together with a small brass hammer , tightened more, then coated the clamp -
this was all very messy but I put drop plastic everywhere. This fix looks pretty pro. if at some point it fails , i dont think it will, i will cut the whole t out and redo this mess. LOl but looks like this is going to do it. zero leaks now. I had no gloves so I got this abs black all over my hands. So much fun getting it off! LOL thanks for the great ideas. 😀
Where do i get old thick glue?
This is the same glue as a new, just half year old. It was evaporated during other work.
@@FixitAll my crack is on the high side of a 45 elbow, so I am using flex tape and if the plumber ever comes... I just have too much other stuff to do :(
Why dont they sell these kinds of rings , i got the same problem in two spots
This repair cannot guarantee that it will be reliable and will permanently fix the problem.
@@FixitAll ah thanks, i am going to seal them with jb water wled and plan on replacing whole thing
UPDATE: I ended up using gutter sealant on mine which can be used on wet surfaces. Smelly..sticky stuff but holding a year later
I would go back and replace all that with PVC, old 1980 ABS is nothing but trouble so had all mine cut out except for one vent.
Would do the same if this was my home.
Seal All products easier n quicker, less work n fast ...
With all that room you had why not just fix it the correct way. Makes no sense.
There was a couple different options with different price of repair.
The owner decide to go with cheaper one.
No gloves. And cut both extremity and change all for brand new. All crap.
You right. Depend if owner ready to pay for that brand new.
Absolutely unsafe. This guy need to be retrained
Do you ever glued this ABS craked pipe?
It's unbelievable strong after glue.
@@FixitAll I didn't refer glue etc but the sharp rotary tools in your bare fingers . Never seen thus action before
@@syediqbal2220 Oh I see. You know what, this reciprocate saw not a dangerous tool at all. Its like a hand held hack saw, just with small motor.
Nope. Absolutely not.
Do not do this .
If it works - it works.
This is laughable!!! If your going to put your name on something make sure you do it right!!! This is soooo bad!!
When they decide spend money and fix it right, I will happy to do it.
Now its not leaking and they happy with that way of fixing 🙂
Happy customers makes my name popular.
@@FixitAll so does lousy work!
I do what owner ask.
This is horrible lol, just replace the fitting bro 😂
Horable becouse of what? Is it leaking? No. Its work out, so no matter how, the results no leaking anymore.
@@FixitAll I guess you're right.
please wear gloves and safty glasses，at least you should mention safty always first in the video
Thank you 😊
Water leak is one of the most important repair for home owners. Why would they want to cheap out on this fix.
May be they sinking this leak was many years in the crawl space, and its not so important, so, just some how to stop the dripping water will be enough.
