Well deserved for the idea to get u out of a jam until u can return the next morning(in case the supply house is closed) with the proper materials to make the repair
Dude I’ve been a plumber for almost 40 years and I never would’ve thought of that . Well Done . They say the highest form of thinking is problem solving and you did it ! Great job !
That is the actual definition of "intelligence" - the ability to join different pieces of information together into a unique solution (at least, that's my definition)
If you cut 6" off of the pipe, then cut the 6" piece lengthwise, you'll be able to roll the 6" piece small enough to be inserted in both pipes. Let it expand and it will join the two pipes. I've never tried it w/ 12" pipe, but it works great on 4", 6" and 8".
My company motto. We the willing have been working for the ungrateful for so long with so little we are now qualified to do absolutely anything with nothing ✌️
We cut a foot wide piece of the pipe and split the circle piece like a C. Pry it open an inch or two and it'll slip over the end like a snap ring that locks the corrugated drainage pipes together. We use large abs zip ties in the center groove on each side of the connection.
Never underestimate the power of the 5 gallon bucket.. wars have been won, fish have been kept, things have been stored, by the grace that is known, as the 5 gallon bucket

Certified lawn plumber here , you broke code and now the universe will implode ! Always hire me to order you a coupling and 4 extras to keep in my truck for the next job
I've cut a 2' length spare pipe and slice it down the length of it. It will snap over both ends of the corrugated pipe where you can pop some screws into it. This hack can be used on other sizes of drain lines. The bucket is good for one size. Plus the corrugated outer sleeve will lock into place with main drain pipe so it doesn't pull apart.
love that ingenuity! You know you're in a pinch when you start to look around to find a solution. BUT u know, if you cut a slot in the the ends of each pipe the will pop into themselves 🤣
Those screws are case hardened and snap right off if you bend them. Also, you need a hammer to do that. You’re not grabbing those with pliers and folding the ends up in there, also, how long are your arms?
The screws are a hang up point for debris. The best part about this is you will always know where the clog is and all you need to do take the screws out, clean said clog, reassemble and youre back in business
Please don’t make comments like that. There are rules and codes for a fucking reason and I’m tired of walking into flooded houses because “they found the problem and fixed the problem” is what the customer thinks when their “contractor” or dumb ass with more tools than brains is just thinking “can’t see it from my house” hire licensed professionals.

Yes. Boxes are square. He was definitely thinking outside the box because his bucket his bucket is round. Get it??😂😂😂 Oh I slay me. I’m a legend in my own mind! 😂😂
Generally you make a cut in the pipe and a similar cut in your extension. Then line up the two cuts and rotate the pipe threading the few rubs you sliced. It connects the two pieces and you then offset the cuts so they lock together.
Commercial 100% he was definitely residential n more if a dyi. I’m sure the pros were like good luck finding that. 5$ 12” coupling not bad at all. 1 in cost more 😂
He's installing 12-inch double-walled corrugated pipe, so he would need a piece of 12-inch single-wall corrugated pipe in order to make a coupler for it. The double-walled corrugated pipe is smooth on the inside.
Doesnt matter of someone else has done it before. You figured it out again on your own. Keeping your mind open when dealing with issues is key. Awesome work
I'm impressed with your improvision skills . FYI , if you have a Firehouse Sub restaurant near you , they sell their empty pickle buckets for $3. About half what the box stores charge and the money goes towards a good cause .
If you know someone who buys cat litter or laundry detergent in buckets, you can get them for free. They're often only 3 or 4 gallon buckets, but they still work for lots of things, and make great mop buckets!
You can make a coupling out of 12" of the pipe. Just rip it down the side so it can be compressed on itself and stick it inside. Don't even need screws.

Exposed, most modern buckets are garbage. But it will live a long life if it stays out of the sun and exposed to the elements. Should be just fine if buried.

Two different types of plastic The pipe is engineered for 20 plus years and the bucket is engineered for 2 years. That bucket is going to dry up crack apart and get debris stuck inside your pipe. 😂😢
@@mycaddigo You're right you probably won't even get a year out of it. 🤷♂️ Depends on how much sun or how much heat the bucket is exposed to. I know I carry 5 gallon buckets inside my truck on a daily basis and in about a year or two a year and a half usually less than 2 years The handles crack off of them The buckets wind up getting a crack on the bottom or the sides. Some buckets are worse than others The blue Lowe's bucket cracks faster than the orange Home Depot Homer bucket 👍
It'll last until the screws cause a clog and he has to dig it up and couple the pipes properly. I'm fairly certain both are hdpe. Probably different grades, but still very similar materials. You're trying to compare a pipe that spends it's life buried to a bucket that gets used and left in the sun. Of course one is going to outlast the other. Put a section of pipe and a bucket out in the sun for a few years. The bucket probably wins.
Definitely should have used something that rusts away over night if you have to use screws. As for being “sealed”, it is as well sealed as the “proper” fitting for this stuff is. It actually appears to be a much tighter fit than the commercially available fittings.
@hoktang1 you only slice about 6 to 10 inches of ribs one slice then it acts like a screw and you twist away. Also most don't know or follow this practice but there is a silicone tape to hold joints together. A client of mine is a engineer that designs collection systems for landfills this is the way they have done it for decades. That's some extremely regulated stuff if it's good enough for them it'll be good enough for a culvert at home. I have followed this practice for a while and yet to have any issues. Definitely less then deck screws in the pipe
Hopefully you clipped them screws on the inside. Did this once we ended up digging it out after about 5 years due to stuff catching the screws and building a small dam inside
When someone hits a piece of hdpe we usually get one size up and a sacrificial ratchet strap and cut a gap out of the bigger size so it can squeeze down on it. If you wanted to make it perfect you could just put cement around the gaps of the replaced pipe before you put the coupler on maybe some duct tape before so the cement. doesn’t fall in the gap. I think those couplers you’re talking about are pretty expensive.
Plastic buckets don’t last very long compared with ABS drainpipe. Just slit the uphill pipe on the top about 4”. Fold it so it tapers, cram it into the other pipe and tape the 💩 out of it. there are many reasons not to use a bucket. One of those reasons are buckets don’t last very long. Another reason is it’s an internal coupler and there are many potential problems like debris will get trapped under the edge of the bucket, the pipe will leak and when a large amount of water comes through it will fold the bucket up inside the pipe, block the drain and divert the water out of the pipe. It’s a terrible idea and it disregards the engineering of the pipe. If a contractor tried to do this on my job, I would lose all confidence and be looking for a better one.
@@AGfrom83 mainly the tape is to keep the dirt from going in but the mechanical connection is the uphill pipe sticking into the lower pipe. Your method just funnels the water under the bucket and out of the seam. If a small amount you water is running it probably will mostly be diverted into the soil.
@@properfpv7160 one quick Google search tells the ABS also gets brittle the only difference is the usage I don't care around ABS drainage pipe nearly as much as I see a 5-gallon bucket
Dude cut a 6 to 8 inch piece off of your pipe or any extra pipe you got so I sit down the middle couple around it and sill it up usually with electrical tape or the big wide rubber eyes tape and you're good to go. I've done it for years. Make sure you put your split side at the top.
@@GaymerGirl- I notice what you mean by taking a look at the other end of the pipe but no the piece of pipe he has on the ground only has a Spigot end as well as the pipe he was trying to connect to, if the pipe he had on the ground would have a bell end and the piece he is connecting to has a proper spigot end with a rubber gasket then he could get some pipe soap and home it up, but he does not have a bell end and not only that but if his end he is trying to connect to isn’t a perfect spigot then the bell will not fit over it, the bell on ADS Pipe will only fit over the same size and standard of ADS pipe that has a spigot on it. Lot of stuff that goes into this kind of pipe but I gotta say there are many ways to make it work. You can even buy a sleeve from ADS and it will literally zippie tie right over top of the two pieces connecting them completely.
@JP...man, oh man..(sigh) My Man just had an Ori-Ginal Thought and We all wuz just pondering on that and you gotta go & point out the obvious. I Hope you ar HaPPy wit yurself.
It would have been much easier to spin the pipe the other way and insert it into the buried pipe and you're done. Sir I applaud you on your trolling skills, you have caught a bunch of suckers in the comments.
"Why do we keep seeing spam mail in KANSAS from HARBOR freight?! we must adjust the map apparently kansas was bordering the ocean a thousand years ago before they re-elected trump and found world peace for four years"
I don't know what a coupler for that looks like but when the video started I thought he was going to duct tape some flashing to the outside 😂. I'd imagine the suitable coupler works a little bit like an automotive v band.
I'd addition to that, those aren't made of plastic that's meant to be out in the elements. It'll get brittle and break in a bunch of tiny shards in about three years.
I agree with user8ZAKC , the bucket won't last near as long as pipe. If I did this on my own job at home thats one thing but if a contractor I hired to do the job for me did this he'd be out fixing it in a few years at most
Great ocurrence! I would recommend you to hold them with clamps on the outside because when you got to unclog the gutter whatever you pass through them may get caught with the screws but for some time this will work unless the screws reached the top ridges only. Another thing that may work is the following, if you make a longitudinal cut of one of the loops, just cut one loop so it allows you to lower one corner of the loop cut, into the solid culvert loop, swing or rotate the culvert you're trying to attach to the other until you get the area you cut up, so you'll need to mark the next loop of the new culvert to know you were able to rotate the culvert cut up so minimum plants grow in on the cut and, remember, when passing the rebar or chain with the tire to clean the culvet, do it from the new culbert towards the old one so you don't get the tire stock to the edges cut. From female to male, is how you clean it.
I needed to do this to a 16" pipe... (a year ago) tried plastic drum, too big. Ended up lining it with a piece of galvanized 18 gauge sheetmetal and silicone. (Mine had to be water tight)
When you get the invoice and it says 12" HF rigid pipe coupling $199.00 😂😂😂

My thoughts exactly
Should have used sheet metal screws . That is just waiting to rip apart
Just keep them up higher and it'll take a while
Why wouldn't you glue it and use hose clamps so you don't have 20 screws snagging everything that comes through?
Great idea. I would bend the screws in the direction of the water flow so nothing gets caught on them
Cut off excess would be better
I wanna see someone reach up in there to bend those screws 😂
That tile I designed to only allow water in
Those screws are case hardened and snap right off if you bend them. Also, you need a hammer to do that. You’re not grabbing those with pliers and folding the ends up in there, also, how long are your arms?
Rivets would take longer but eliminate the snagging issue
The screws are a hang up point for debris. The best part about this is you will always know where the clog is and all you need to do take the screws out, clean said clog, reassemble and youre back in business

@hoktang1 you only slice about 6 to 10 inches of ribs one slice then it acts like a screw and you twist away. Also most don't know or follow this practice but there is a silicone tape to hold joints together. A client of mine is a engineer that designs collection systems for landfills this is the way they have done it for decades. That's some extremely regulated stuff if it's good enough for them it'll be good enough for a culvert at home. I have followed this practice for a while and yet to have any issues. Definitely less then deck screws in the pipe
@hoktang1 it's corrugated pipe it absolutely work. Shit I'll even make a vid on it. I have done it with this same pipe from 3in up to 2ft in diameter.

Hopefully you clipped them screws on the inside. Did this once we ended up digging it out after about 5 years due to stuff catching the screws and building a small dam inside
was thinking the same. The screws offer no extra strength with that extra length.
no worries, we will be off on the next job by then.
Great solution! Brilliant thinking! A small suggestion (NOT criticism!)…consider shorter screws. Might catch less trash coming through the culvert.
That's actually a BRILLIANT idea!!!
That's the best application of anything from Harbor Freight I ever seen.
You can use a Strap-Wrap coupler. Press-Seal sells them. ADS also sells solutions. They are made to join field cuts just like this.
When someone hits a piece of hdpe we usually get one size up and a sacrificial ratchet strap and cut a gap out of the bigger size so it can squeeze down on it. If you wanted to make it perfect you could just put cement around the gaps of the replaced pipe before you put the coupler on maybe some duct tape before so the cement. doesn’t fall in the gap. I think those couplers you’re talking about are pretty expensive.
Or you could turn the pipe around and use the connector that's built into the other side
It's refreshing to see someone actually using what God gave them.
People have done this before but didn’t put it up on social media because now the hf buckets will be $15
Bullshit ain’t nobody but him done this be humble and accept some free knowledge
@@Juankrazygringo those three inch screws he used will hold debris and clog this in about 2 months, there's your knowledge.
@@KipdoesStuffthank youuu
The actual definition of Jerry Rigged at it’s finest #ChefsKiss
Plastic buckets don’t last very long compared with ABS drainpipe. Just slit the uphill pipe on the top about 4”. Fold it so it tapers, cram it into the other pipe and tape the 💩 out of it. there are many reasons not to use a bucket. One of those reasons are buckets don’t last very long. Another reason is it’s an internal coupler and there are many potential problems like debris will get trapped under the edge of the bucket, the pipe will leak and when a large amount of water comes through it will fold the bucket up inside the pipe, block the drain and divert the water out of the pipe. It’s a terrible idea and it disregards the engineering of the pipe. If a contractor tried to do this on my job, I would lose all confidence and be looking for a better one.
So wait does tape last longer than a bucket? Genuine question
@@AGfrom83 mainly the tape is to keep the dirt from going in but the mechanical connection is the uphill pipe sticking into the lower pipe. Your method just funnels the water under the bucket and out of the seam. If a small amount you water is running it probably will mostly be diverted into the soil.
Most buckets are made out of HDPE it's good stuff
@@mqe73M old buckets get brittle 🤷♂️
@@properfpv7160 one quick Google search tells the ABS also gets brittle the only difference is the usage I don't care around ABS drainage pipe nearly as much as I see a 5-gallon bucket
Great video great hack!
Dude cut a 6 to 8 inch piece off of your pipe or any extra pipe you got so I sit down the middle couple around it and sill it up usually with electrical tape or the big wide rubber eyes tape and you're good to go. I've done it for years. Make sure you put your split side at the top.
This is the right answer.
wont that only work with single wall pipe which i cant see from this video.
@@joshuasims7357it will with with any type of ADS pipe as long as you can spread the cut open piece wide enough to go over top of your connection.
I would encourage you all to take a look at the other end of the pipe when he's carrying the bucket over
@@GaymerGirl- I notice what you mean by taking a look at the other end of the pipe but no the piece of pipe he has on the ground only has a Spigot end as well as the pipe he was trying to connect to, if the pipe he had on the ground would have a bell end and the piece he is connecting to has a proper spigot end with a rubber gasket then he could get some pipe soap and home it up, but he does not have a bell end and not only that but if his end he is trying to connect to isn’t a perfect spigot then the bell will not fit over it, the bell on ADS Pipe will only fit over the same size and standard of ADS pipe that has a spigot on it. Lot of stuff that goes into this kind of pipe but I gotta say there are many ways to make it work. You can even buy a sleeve from ADS and it will literally zippie tie right over top of the two pieces connecting them completely.
This is the best harbor freight ad I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing 😜😂
If I’m not mistaken, the pipe has a male end pointing out
I'm glad not everyone commenting is a dope.
@JP...man, oh man..(sigh) My Man just had an Ori-Ginal Thought and We all wuz just pondering on that and you gotta go & point out the obvious. I Hope you ar HaPPy wit yurself.
It would have been much easier to spin the pipe the other way and insert it into the buried pipe and you're done.
Sir I applaud you on your trolling skills, you have caught a bunch of suckers in the comments.
Nice, FYI video. Thank you on the info.
That's an excellent idea!!!. Just goes to show you that nothing is impossible if you're committed to fixing the problem my friend.

Dude this video needs more views bc that's an awesome idea
Thanks man! Share the fool out of it brother! 😁
I love it when a plan comes together lol
Cut the screws or it might cause clogs!
How in the world would he do that??
@alexymaldonadoo2913 you can't be serious...
Not the sharpest tool in the shed
Absolutely terrible idea! A coupling goes on the outside of a drain pipe. It will eventually get plugged up at that bucket.
I don't know what a coupler for that looks like but when the video started I thought he was going to duct tape some flashing to the outside 😂. I'd imagine the suitable coupler works a little bit like an automotive v band.
I'd addition to that, those aren't made of plastic that's meant to be out in the elements. It'll get brittle and break in a bunch of tiny shards in about three years.
@@user8ZAKC1X6KCYou think so? I bet it last more than three years since he said it will be burried.
I agree with user8ZAKC , the bucket won't last near as long as pipe. If I did this on my own job at home thats one thing but if a contractor I hired to do the job for me did this he'd be out fixing it in a few years at most
I was a service plumber for 50yrs I was always having to improvise fixing problems. Good job like your thinking 😊
@@garykrell2058 thank you sir!
These buckets are notoriously horrible quality plastic. They're always breaking when you use them. I would not trust this repair.
Awesome Job
Just plain brilliant !!! 👍👍👏👏😉
Many thanks!!
Brilliant! Resourceful!
Hats off to you. Thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸
Very very clever, hats off to you sir
Nice find! Thanks for sharing!
Necessity is the mother of invention! Good thinking!
Ya know what brother...... Thats whats up, you got er done and it'll last to! Good job, respect
Nice job brother 👏👏👍
Truly amazing! Thanks for the info.
That idea is awesome and saved a ton of money on coupler
That’s genius! i love it sooo much!
With necessity comes invention. If they haven't done it before they will now. Great idea man.
I had an original thought I bet somebody’s done this before 😂😂😂good job sir
I love rigging shit up that works like a charm
Great ocurrence! I would recommend you to hold them with clamps on the outside because when you got to unclog the gutter whatever you pass through them may get caught with the screws but for some time this will work unless the screws reached the top ridges only.
Another thing that may work is the following, if you make a longitudinal cut of one of the loops, just cut one loop so it allows you to lower one corner of the loop cut, into the solid culvert loop, swing or rotate the culvert you're trying to attach to the other until you get the area you cut up, so you'll need to mark the next loop of the new culvert to know you were able to rotate the culvert cut up so minimum plants grow in on the cut and, remember, when passing the rebar or chain with the tire to clean the culvet, do it from the new culbert towards the old one so you don't get the tire stock to the edges cut. From female to male, is how you clean it.
Good job 👍
I needed to do this to a 16" pipe... (a year ago) tried plastic drum, too big. Ended up lining it with a piece of galvanized 18 gauge sheetmetal and silicone. (Mine had to be water tight)
Very well done it works problem solved
Well done sir 💪🏻
