I would recommend also cleaning the patch piece.
Then prime the patch as well to aid the glue.
Lastly, the glue sets very fast so you should have the clamps already around the pipe before applying primer and glue.
Good luck to all.
Thanks for the great tips! Always welcome.
One thing I would also do is drill 1/16" -1/8" hole at the ends of each crack so they don't grow.
Interesting tip! Never heard that one before.
Simple and straightforward. Thumbs up.
Thanks!
You Da Man…da fix-it man! Thanks for sharing this tip…it’s sure to help others! Your assistant did a GREAT JOB…lol❤
Ha ha, thank you!!
Found a similar hole and was thinking to patch it this way to save myself the hassle of digging a massive hole and then I found this video-perfect!
Great, glad I could help! Pretty easy project!
Great fix!
Thanks!
Thanks sharing this Flip, will be very helpful when I repair my underground PVC pipe with a similar hole.
No problem. Good luck with the project.
I was thinking to do the exact same thing on my 4” sewer line lol. Told myself there has to be a video of someone else doing it just to confirm a patch like this is legitimate. Thanks for the justification.
No problem. Good luck with the project!
Me too, I thought the exact same thing someone had to make a video. We had underground pvc with similar hole as one in the video.
Wow! Thanks flip
No problem!
Excellent
Thank you.
Great job
Thank you!
amazing!
Thank you!
Nice!
Thanks!
Heck yeah I wanted to try this
Easy peasy.
This helped me fix my pvc storm water pipe 3:33
Glad I could help!
I have the same situation. Accidentaly poke it with pick axe. Will do this one. Thanks
Yep. Hit mine with an aerator like a dummy.
Wow.
Will a fix like this worked for a high pressure line?
It might hold up but a full PVC repair coupling would be more ideal than just a patch in that case.
Just a question, do you use a 4 inch pipe to patch another 4 inch pipe or the size is bigger? You said in the video is a 4 inch but I would like to confirm, thanks for the video.
Yes, same exact size!
I was excited to see this but you said for a low pressure water. It don't help for my problem. Mines a sewer line. Great video though
Thank you. Hope you get it fixed soon
Sewer line is low pressure and can be repaired using a method like this. I would recommend reading my other comment and not using for indoor repair unless you can be certain to get a perfect air seal.
@@ASharpEdge Yes, agree with ASharpEdge.
What do you think about this? Gravel backfill the hole so as to discourage roots growing in the event of patch failure?
Never seen it done that way but I can see where you're coming from! Makes sense.
This is clearly in a warm climate area with as close to the surface as this pipe is
It's just a down spout drain pipe that ends a couple feet away.
Never seen that before, when I clicked on this I expected to see him use 2 ferncos
That would work, too. But not really needed on a low pressure drain line like this.
@@fixitFlip but that’s what Fernco are made for aren’t they?
@@brandonbaker9027 Yes, you could cut on both sides of the hole and put a new piece of pvc in and attach with 2 ferncos. This method is just a little cheaper and works fine for a drain line.
so you forgot to prime the "patch"
Yes I could have added a little around the outer edge of the patch. Should have no problem holding being a low pressure line.
yo turn the water on and show there is no leak after the fix
Turn on the rain?
This is not the right way
Share your knowledge.
@@fixitFlip cut the broken piece out put coupling on each side put in the uncut pvc pipe make sure it fits prime and glue.
