People like you make the world a better place! Not only do you make videos to help thousands of us on RUclips, you are also are a great neighbor! Thank you very much for the helpful video. Always a thumbs up!!
Thanks for the really nice comment! I'm always helping others, just the way I am. I'm lucky to have a very nice neighbor, some people have nightmare neighbors. We can sure use many more people like you on YT as well, you put a lot of effort into your videos to help people make the right decisions. Can't wait to see more Farmabago videos! LOL
It's actually a condemnation of modernity that his kindness in helping his neighbor is even remarkable. I remember when I was growing up, my father was always either helping or getting help from neighbors for various projects. In today's world, you are lucky if you know your neighbor's name!
Saved my butt with your video. I was replacing my daughter's 24 year old hot water heater and ran into the old PVC being expanded and the couplers wouldn't fit. I was ready to call a plumber and eat crow but decided to Google a resolution. Kudos to you!!! Picked up a heat gun and I was back in business! ❤
Your a genius. I have a 2500 gallon water tank and irrigation pump that broke at a PVC joint on the suction side. After cutting away the broken pipe the new 2 inch couplers would not fit. Your heat gun and soap trick helped me fix it in under an hour. I plan to leak test tomorrow after I let the glue set for 24 hours. Thank you so much.
It’s crazy how often I come across oversized PVC. Back in the late 70’s to early 80’s apparently the different manufacturers all had the same ID but to prevent different brand fittings and pipes from being used they changed their OD just ever so slightly. I work for a large water utility company. We end up having to use Bolted Couplings to connect our copper or brass pipe to their private lines. This by far gives a cleaner appearance. When we are done my work all get buried. Great video and great tip.

Great video, had a similar issue, also on the suction piping to my well pump. Reading the comments here is good for a laugh too, 500 "Why not buy the right fitting next time?" yet not ONE of them actually says what that magic fitting is.
Replacing an old water filter that sprung a leak. Cut the pvc pipes went to slide on the coupling and bam no amount of force was gonna slide I on. Kinda felt like I was standing in the middle of the road with no clothes on..LOL.. And your video came along and saved the day...THANKS!!!
Thank you so much for this! It is exactly what I needed when the shower pipe broke. I wasn't going to have water until I could cap it off and the caps would not go on. And thanks for being such a good guy, what I wouldn't give for a neighbor like you!

If you have cracks or holes you can soak pvc with the glue softening it . Then take your fingers pinch it closed like clay. It re hardens in a few hours strong as new. I fixed SDR sewage pipes in ground this way for years. Excellent work Thanks
Thank you for putting in the "sanding won't help much"... I'm the idiot that's been trying to sand my pipes because of this same issue. I can't believe I didn't think about re-molding it - thanks for the tip!!!
Outstanding idea ! I was looking around for someone who could precision lath the inside of a coupler. I will give this a try. The pipe in the ground is 40 yr old thin wall 3" pvc and there are no couplers available anywhere I have searched. Doing this with a 3" sked 40 coupler should work. I had not thought about heating up the coupler. Fingers crossed ! Just a follow up a little later from commenting, it worked ! Boy, am I happy, thanks again for the tip !
Going through this issue now. Was a bit puzzled as I buy all of my fittings from the same hardware store and just ran into this. I thought maybe with the Artic blast here in Texas back in late Feb, that "new" manufacturers surfaced creating the issue. I will definitely use this method. Thanks for sharing

Another tip for a solid glue connection is to debur the ends of the pipe after it's cut. If not the ridge left after cutting will just push the glue into the fitting when the pipe is pushed in. Like a syringe. You don't want that syringe effect.
You are BLOODY BRILLIANT! Obviously I had the same thought hence the search for this topic but thank you for your confirmation!! I have been to my local Bunnings in Australia 3 times, every time sent home with the wrong pieces despite showing them the measurements required. Im not going back, Im doing it my way :). Thank you so much :)
I learned a lot watching your video. You really apply a good amount of both primer and cement, I didnt know that. Also you are really kind to help your neighbor lady. :}
I'm installing a drain pipe in my yard. French drain from retaining wall to a channel by back porch. Then I need to connect a PVC pipe or some type of hose that is smaller in size to go through a backwall fitting. It barely rains in Phoenix but, since ground is hard, when it does my backyard floods and water sits for several days. So , since it doesnt rain a lot I'm not concerned about the smaller pipe not keeping up with water filling drains.
FYI if you don't have a heat gun, you can stick a piece of PVC, or plastic conduit in the exhaust pipe of your truck with a rag as a gasket to force the exhaust through the pipe and it will get soft so you can bend it all around.
@@electronicsNmore where are you going to find a pot of boiling water big enough to put a whole stick of conduit in? I'm not talking about stretching a coupling, I'm talking about odd shapes you want to contour
Cool tip, don’t listen to all these experts on you tube that would probably drown in a glass of water. The way I look at it as long as I don’t have to pay someone I’ll get it done one way or another

Thanks, you have very helpful videos. PVC does get brittle after a while, probably from the UV from the sun, I can see that happening. This is good to know, in case I ever run into that situation.
@@electronicsNmore I was recently impressed by ceramic brake caliper paint from an Advance auto parts store. About $10 for a large spray can, and after inspection it would block sunlight from damaging the pvc. This paint covers well- a little goes a long way.
Hi there. If PVC, it's much cheaper to just cut the pipe and use a coupling. If the pipes are all galvanized, a union is definitely the way to go. Thanks for watching!

@@electronicsNmore I saw that, and, apparently there's no practical justification to use primer, - that primer doesn't make a useful difference, at least in the 1/2 to 1'' range of PVC pipe.
Thanks for watching Jack! You'll enjoy my "PVC" video playlist below. I also test different PVC cleaner & Cement. ruclips.net/p/PLQ6IOhUBblU10Q846UXdxMnh8S_eul0UT
No need to, I flipped over the brick, they were just laying there. If it was a nice clean concrete pad, then yes, lay down a rag or piece of heavy cardboard. Thanks for watching!
You always get some primer/cement inside the pipe. It dries fairly quick, and what doesn't dry, turns to a white looking thin plastic when water comes into contact. You always flush the system after doing repairs. This well is used for lawn watering. Thanks for watching!
electronicsNmore Precisely. I am a plumber of 48 years experience and a union between an outlet pipe from a pump and the pump only makes sense. Even if you unbolt the pump and put a new one on, you still have to re-connected to the service line and a union will facilitate just that. End of story.
electronicsNmore And what if you cannot find an exact replacement motor? In that case, the dimensions will be different. Either way, the union and the valve each side of the pump makes it a lot easier to change stuff out. I guess we can agree to disagree, but like I said, I did this kind of work for 48 years, so I am not just shooting from the hip, as it were.
Hello. There was no reason to spend the extra money because the cast iron pump housing is very well made, and we normally replace only the motor. The motor simply unbolts. Thanks for watching!
Very nice but, would have been more interesting if no flexibility between pump and well point. Most likely would have had to cut out the old elbow and extended new pipe to the horizontal pipe.😏
For no flexibility I would've used a new PVC elbow, short section of pipe, and (2) couplings. One of the couplings would be modified into "Full" slip like I show in my other video below. ruclips.net/video/x7NWmdlvVIQ/видео.html
Would of been a lot easier to just sand the inside of the coupling little bit.i wouldn't recommend sanding the pipe if it's foam core not a good ideal to heat PVC causes the fittings to crack over time
Why in all hell would a pvc pipe not fit into a coupling of the same size? This happened to me today where a 3/4" pipe fit the coupling fine on one side but didn't fit on the other side. So apparently, you have to purchase a heat gun to make them fit properly. Why aren't employees at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes aware of this and inform customers of this potential problem?
No, way too much work. The amount it's off is too much to sand. You don't need a $100 heat gun, you can use a $20 heat gun, or boiling hot water. Thanks for watching!
For all the know it alls bitching about heating the fitting to make it fit the bigger size what is the alternative here? Obviously the newer pvc is speced different. Is he supposed to hunt down a shop that has older fittings and pipes laying around that match in size?
1. ALWAYS SCREW THE LID BACK ON THE CANS EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE IT AGAIN VERY SOON. 2. DON'T PUT GLUE ON THE INSIDE OF A FITTING IT WILL CAUSE A GLOB OF GLUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE PIPE. USE PRIMER
I'm a Plumber.. speechless, don't know what to say. eventually it will leak.would have been better off spending 10 cents on the proper fitting and doing it right.

But what if it's smaller?

Not really necessary, usually you swap out the motor when it fails, not the entire unit. The motor unbolts easily. Thanks for watching!
Very nice but, would have been more interesting if no flexibility between pump and well point. Most likely would have had to cut out the old elbow and extended new pipe to the horizontal pipe.😏
For no flexibility I would've used a new PVC elbow, short section of pipe, and (2) couplings. One of the couplings would be modified into "Full" slip like I show in my other video below.

Sometimes you can get away with using a pipe extender (inside coupling).
Come on, man. You didn't get it Rose broke the pipe on purpose for you to come over and fix her Plumbing. You know her Plumbing.😜😆👌👈
🤣 The break a pipe to get your plumbing fixed by the repairman trick. Too bad she wasn't 40yrs younger.
@@electronicsNmore LOL Well, you could always close your eyes I guess. It's all in her technique on how she repairs your pipe. Hahaha
Best comment.
on the pvc coming from the dirt there is an old lady with glasses.
LOL
Would of been a lot easier to just sand the inside of the coupling little bit.i wouldn't recommend sanding the pipe if it's foam core not a good ideal to heat PVC causes the fittings to crack over time
The sanding issue was mentioned in the video.
Not to complain, but it should have a union there ,be easier to fix next time.
Shouldn't have to touch the connection in the future, the pump housing is good quality, so you'd unbolt the motor and swap it out. Thanks for watching
Why in all hell would a pvc pipe not fit into a coupling of the same size? This happened to me today where a 3/4" pipe fit the coupling fine on one side but didn't fit on the other side. So apparently, you have to purchase a heat gun to make them fit properly. Why aren't employees at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes aware of this and inform customers of this potential problem?
Must be due to heating of the pvc pipe under pressure.
It's much easier to sand the pipe OD with plumbers cloth and cheaper than buying a $100 heat gun.
No, way too much work. The amount it's off is too much to sand. You don't need a $100 heat gun, you can use a $20 heat gun, or boiling hot water. Thanks for watching!
Sometimes PVC are in metric
Not in the USA.
@@electronicsNmore that pvc was gsr pvc, some of the gsr pvc pipes are made in mexico
why does it look like some one sprayed pvc primer and cement all over the equipment and the ground ?
They painted it. Not good.
Why not a fernco fitting?
You only use Fernco on DWV, not pressure.

Is that side of the pump considered pressure? Not arguing, just asking.
@@jhitt79 It's suction until the pressure switch turns off the pump, then it's a pressurized line up to the check valve.
electronicsNmore that’s what I’m getting at. Is a fernco alright to use on the suction side as it’s not pressure?
Suction must be VERY low, or the rubber will cave in. Only use for sewer lines.
Should have shown the clumsy neighbor...😱
Not really a world class secret. Most plumbers carry a heat gun in their service van.
if this simple job give Chinese do it just take 3min cheap way repair and change your pipe from old to new
For all the know it alls bitching about heating the fitting to make it fit the bigger size what is the alternative here? Obviously the newer pvc is speced different. Is he supposed to hunt down a shop that has older fittings and pipes laying around that match in size?
Why not just go buy the correct size fitting?
There is no correct size. The pipe's diameter became larger due to heating and pressure.
If it works,go for it 🤘,and they should keep the politics out of plumbing 😎
Thanks for watching Jim!
It's known as THE MARSHMALOW METHOD...
No, that's for PVC pistols. :-)
I hate Abs black plastic, it's garbage, prefer the schedule 40 PVC 👍
What no blue glue, the insanity...
Wait. LOL. Test coming soon.
1. ALWAYS SCREW THE LID BACK ON THE CANS EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE IT AGAIN VERY SOON.
2. DON'T PUT GLUE ON THE INSIDE OF A FITTING IT WILL CAUSE A GLOB OF GLUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE PIPE. USE PRIMER

I'm a Plumber.. speechless, don't know what to say. eventually it will leak.would have been better off spending 10 cents on the proper fitting and doing it right.
Nope, never leak. I've done it countless times over the past 30 years. There is no proper size! LOL It became larger due to heat/pressure.
Wow, are you sure you’re a plumber? You must really suck at your job!
@@electronicsNmore Ofcourse it didnt leak... its a suction (negative pressure) line.
@@diazaa What? I guess you missed the pressure tank. LOL. That line is under pressure when the pump clicks off.
@@electronicsNmore No but my mistake, I'm used to the outlet having a check valve. Sorry.
Why don't you go buy the proper piece that fits ?
There is no piece! LOL
@@electronicsNmore yes there is !
@@davidromero9985 Really? They sell a size between 1 1/4" and 1 1/2"? LOL
@@electronicsNmore yes really
@@electronicsNmore I'm sorry I'm just messing around! I'm watching super bowl and surfing yt and I've been drinking have a nice night ! Won't bother you with my stupid $__t no more!
All those suggestions that keep popping up are annoying
Can't please every viewer.
@@electronicsNmore I understand. Just my input. Keep up the good work.
@@cokemillion I try to space them out so they don't pop up too close. I always use black text boxes in my video to make sure nothing was left out. Having the text areas in the videos greatly reduces questions by viewers, and viewers like them. Thanks for watching
