  • Learn how to easily tap into buried PVC city and well water lines, as well as sprinkler system PVC pipes to add additional heads using only a small 12" hole in the ground. Works perfectly with 1/2", 3/4", or 1" PVC pipe. Also use this method with a coupling to repair a cracked or broken buried PVC pipe. The method shown in this video can also be used with 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" PVC pipe, but with a higher level of difficulty. A fantastic money and time saving PVC tip for the DIYer! A plumbing tip that everyone should know. Enjoy the video.

      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

    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.

      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).

    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...
