Thank you
Heat applied work fine with schedule 20, not so much with schedule 40.
@@robkocol5664 Works perfectly with sch40.
I was concerned about this. Thank you.
1 in. CPVC-CTS All Slip Tee Fitting
@@robkocol5664 You mean 200.
File the stop out in the middle of the coupling so it will slid past the end of the pipe line the pipes glue and slide it back so it’s on both pipes easier than heating pipe
I guess you've seen my other video
Way better
@@carlmccoy662 I can assure you it's not an easy task using a file because there is roughly a one-inch space that needs to be reduced. My other video shows an alternate way of doing it.
@@electronicsNmore A flush trim router, would take care of the stop. A repair coupling would solve the problem too, but would need 2 cuts in the pipe
Filing would be quite a job. The heating seems easier. But. Not a bad alternative. 👌
Thank you for getting right to the point instead of a long-winded introduction. I appreciate the information.
Huge time-saving tip! Thank you for yet another fantastic video!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching
Project farm in the house woop woop!!
@djaa7 calm down dude 😂
Project farm what’s up man!
We’re gonna test this dudes plumbing tricks or what?
I also appreciate the straight to the point instructions.
Good, straight to the point video without a bunch of obnoxious music, thank you!
Thanx for touching on the subject of obnoxious "music" that is so prevalent here on the Tube and which only serves to make said videos unwatchable.
I've never thought of this. I've always used a slip coupling. Will nave to try this next time. Thanks for the tip!
Good tip on filing stops, can also use a compression tee available at most hardware stores
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.
How in the world do you file that little ledge inside of PVC pipe? I don’t understand how you would file that, and how come they don’t simply make repair couplings for this.
@@ThankyouJesus81 The do make repair couplings for some sizes of pipe. I have a woodworking file I used for most of the ledge, and for the last part I wrapped some coarse sandpaper around a dowel rod.
I never would’ve thought of that. I usually buy one of those extenders. I’ll try your method.
I was going crazy yesterday trying to fit in some new 1/2" PVC pipes into some old 3/4" pipes. I had the step down pipes but couldn't get the Ts. in. I have a heat gun so now I am off to the races. Thank you so much! Yay!!!!
Wow, wish I saw this years ago, saved me a lot of digging and agnst over the years 😎. Good stuff, thanks!
Wow. Great tip. I wouldn't have thought of using heat. Thanks
For years i had to deal with that pipe issue, this is first time iv'e seen it done that way, i'll definitely try your heat gun method next time! Thanks!👍
You're welcome!
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).
Awesome! A pvc connection with a happy ending👍🏽
Great craftsmanship my friend!
Excellent method !!! Wonderful.
Wow! Thank you for the tip!
I love videos like this, thank you sir
Hey bro I like that you get straight to the point.
Good video.
Best trick i have seen in a year. Thank you.
Another great learning demonstration………Thank you
Very welcome
I've done this, and it works well. Good job..!
This was so satisfying to watch.
Wow, very well explained. 👍
Brilliant, thanks!
Great Tip - thanks for sharing.
This is a very helpful channel to any DIY type people.....thanks 👍
Glad you think so!
if you only like hack jobs. this is horrible
👍👍 I’ve used a torch to bend pvc but never a heat gun. they make pvc expanding couplings there a little pricey but they work great especially on bigger water lines
Wow. This is a great advice.
Well done. Right to the point, clearly narrated and demonstrated.
Great tip thank you so much for sharing this important information
How did I not know this was a thing! Amazing info thank you
Happy to help!
Great demo. Thanks
Great tip. Thanks
Great Job. Thanks!!!
Awesome content - you illustrate out of the box creative thinking!
Thanks for the nice comment!
Very useful, thanks.
You are a legend. Just saved me a tonne of time & effort. Thank you!
Great tip thanks dude!
Bravo. Well done sir. Well done
Brilliant idea much easier I've unfortunately used my strength to force it in place I'll give this idea ago next time I perform retic repairs thank you 👍
Slick trick going to remember this one.
Thank you very much!!! you made our lives much easier with your magic trick!
Glad to hear that!
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...
Yes, that will make the job easier. Glad you liked the video!
Dude. Thank you. I have been wondering exactly how to know how much pipe needs to go in vs how much you cut off. Your dry fitting then pencil line is so stupidly simple that I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it. I have been guessing and luckily been right in my yard.
Over 30 years in construction…. I own a heat gun which I use mostly for heating pvc conduit instead of wasting money on bends… never once did I stop and think of this brilliant solution. Thanks, now my challenge is remembering it.
I wish I had saw this video before New Years Eve this year when I had a water emergency and no stores were open. Would have saved me a lot of time and aggravatrip! 😂 Great tip!
Very nice trick!!👍
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.
expensive slip couplings ? Your kidding right ?
@@jamesb1184 10 or 15 dollars they cost vs 50 cents for a coupling.
Thank you for teaching people this. Sincerely, plumbers everywhere.
no this is stupid. real plumbers dont do this hack shit on peoples homes. keep up the good DIY hack jobs you do
Good video. Thanks for sharing .
I’m a plumber and never thought of that, nice.
Use compress union is much easier .
dont do this hack job BS. get the proper fittings
Magic, I love this, had problems so many times in connection with this.. thanks so much
You're welcome John
I would also add that here in the Philippines I've never seen pipe cleaner or blue solvent, it's all clear.. I manage though 😊😊😊
@@TheNagaguyI hate that purple mess. I always use clear primer. The reason for the purple is so that the plumbing inspector can know that primer was used. If you are DIY and there is no inspector, clear is good.
THAT WAS GREAT never thought about that
Brilliant thank you!
Wow...i will definitely keep this in mind..
I often wondered how that was done. Good job!👍
That is not how that is done. Not professionally at least.
Great video, whis I knew this last summer.
I gotta remember this one for sure!!
Excellent!!!!!
Thanks, great tip
You're welcome Pat! Thanks for watching
Where were you 3 years ago!! Great tip!
Thank you!
That was good, doesn't matter which do it before or after. Nice work.
Great idea 💡 👍 thanks
Thanks! I've always wondered how I would do that...
Brilliant thanks.
Great trick, Thanks!!! : )
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
Incredible
Perfect short and to the point
Glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to check out my PVC tips video playlist as well and share. Thank you
Game changer 👍
Interesting.
PR200 may flexible, unlike Schedule40.
Good tip!
I wish i new this years ago, would have saved me a lot of digging
Excellent, thanks. I would use a torch, but I think it would damage the pipe too much so I think the heat gun is the way to go. I always wondered what the most professional way to accomplish this would be so thanks for this video.
why not glue the tee and use a dressor? the way he did it is the least expensive BUT over/under heat and you have a problem?
Great 💯
Excellent
Good information.thanks
Good demo... I could have used that a few years ago.
Thanks for watching john!
Brilliant! Used your technique today. Can't believe how great it worked! ThankS for posting. A+
I've been using the 4 elbow method, I will try this next time.
WOW and WOW I am so impressed
Glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to check out my pvc tips video playlist as well and share. Thank you
Clever. thanks.
Nice trick! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Awesome video 🎉
Glad you liked the video Frederick! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share. Thank you
Terrific how to video eNm! That heat trick was really cool! 👍👍
Thanks Steve!
Thank you
Great Idea!
If you are a idiot 😂
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.
Outstanding
Awesome video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very good idea!
I love it🙏
Nice tip. Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Nice, thanks for sharing
Glad you liked the video Louis!
Thanks for the info, I want to add a line to my back yard and was thinking how am I going to tap into the line to the house, now I know. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Amazing
nice tip
Good Trick
Great tip and video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Can you please provide the details on the heat gun you use. Thanks.
Good idea! I thought I knew all the tricks. Especially helpful as union's are up 35% from a year ago.
Very cool
hey will!
Glad you liked the video Will! Thanks for watching
