Yours is the only video that shows how to remove an outer fitting, which is what I need to do. I have a drain pipe coming in the wall in the kitchen. The old sink needed an elbow to move the drain over a bit and now I no longer need it, but there isn't enough of the original PVC to cut it off and attach a new pipe to it.
That might prove a bit more difficult. I've used this method to remove a toilet flange for example with the pipe still in the floor.. You have to put a new connector on while the pipe is still malleable so it stays nice and round.. You don't have to glue it, just so it keeps the shape nice and true.
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel I just finished with the job for a bathroom drain assembly. The p-trap was located under cement so I was working with a 2-in pipe that had a connector on it. It required some work but I was able to remove the connector with a heat gun and needle nose pliers. I let it cool down and sanded it. However, I think your solution would have been a little less work. All in all, it was a pain but worth it since I didn't have to do any cement work. Thanks!

TYSM!... 😊
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it😀
Would the hole saw get hot enough by heating it with heat gun, or do I need to buy a torch?
HI, a heat gun is definitely not hot enough! The hole saw basically needs to be glowing red hot..
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel : Thanks for the update.
Always good information. Do you run a handyman service in your local community?
Thank u! I used to. I haven't been running it for a while.
Can you use a hairdryer instead of heat gun?
HI, a hair dryer is definitely not hot enough! Thank you... 😀
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel 😂 thanks 🙏🏻
Peeling those ends out is easier when using a needle nose plier. One jaw can be inserted completely into the joint and then the pliers rotated...
Great tip! Thanks for the info... Yes then you can just roll it up 😀
People are wanting to save the fitting not the pipe
just depends on how you take it out. I'm pretty sure you can do it both ways.
Not everybody. I need to remove a fitting and save the pipe.
Everyone has a video on removing and saving the coupling but what about saving the pipe?

Definitely! Anytime you don't have to break cement is a plus.... 😀@@NappyWayz
Use a solvent weld cement and it won’t ever come apart.
This is just with the "regular" PVC glue that is commonly used on these types of joints.😀
I cant imagine how bad the smell is a super heated pooh hole!🤮
Lol... hadn't thought about that. Good thing I used a new flange!.. 😂
toothpaste works great
Interesting! Never tried that before... 😀
