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.
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.
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.
Best trick i have seen in a year. Thank you.
I've never thought of this. I've always used a slip coupling. Will nave to try this next time. Thanks for the tip!
Wow, wish I saw this years ago, saved me a lot of digging and agnst over the years 😎. Good stuff, thanks!
Awesome! A pvc connection with a happy ending👍🏽
Great craftsmanship my friend!
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?
Hey bro I like that you get straight to the point.
Good video.
Wow. Great tip. I wouldn't have thought of using heat. Thanks
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!!!!
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
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).
You are a legend. Just saved me a tonne of time & effort. Thank you!
Great tip thank you so much for sharing this important information
Wow! Thank you for the tip!
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.
Wow, very well explained. 👍
I love videos like this, thank you sir
Excellent method !!! Wonderful.
👍👍 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
This was so satisfying to watch.
Great Tip - thanks for sharing.
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
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 done this, and it works well. Good job..!
Where were you 3 years ago!! Great tip!
Great tip thanks dude!
That was good, doesn't matter which do it before or after. Nice work.
Great tip. Thanks
Well done. Right to the point, clearly narrated and demonstrated.
Awesome content - you illustrate out of the box creative thinking!
Thanks for the nice comment!
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 👍
Wow. This is a great advice.
Another great learning demonstration………Thank you
Very welcome
Great demo. Thanks
Brilliant, thanks!
Thank you very much!!! you made our lives much easier with your magic trick!
Glad to hear that!
Thanks! I've always wondered how I would do that...
How did I not know this was a thing! Amazing info thank you
Happy to help!
Very useful, thanks.
Brilliant! Used your technique today. Can't believe how great it worked! ThankS for posting. A+
Great tip and video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Can you please provide the details on the heat gun you use. Thanks.
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!
I often wondered how that was done. Good job!👍
That is not how that is done. Not professionally at least.
Good idea! I thought I knew all the tricks. Especially helpful as union's are up 35% from a year ago.
Very good idea!
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.
Wow...i will definitely keep this in mind..
Good information.thanks
Terrific how to video eNm! That heat trick was really cool! 👍👍
Thanks Steve!
Good video. Thanks for sharing .
Very nice trick!!👍
I wish i new this years ago, would have saved me a lot of digging
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.
Slick trick going to remember this one.
Brilliant thank you!
Great Job. Thanks!!!
Nice trick! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Great video, whis I knew this last summer.
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.
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!
I gotta remember this one for sure!!
Great idea 💡 👍 thanks
Excellent!!!!!
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?
I've been using the 4 elbow method, I will try this next time.
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
Great trick, Thanks!!! : )
Brilliant thanks.
That is a great idea. Man I wish i had known that one
You just showed me how to create fire for the fist time. Wow great vid
Thank you!
Pretty slick!
Glad you liked the video. Be sure to watch today's PVC testing video. Thanks
10 -4!
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
Good demo... I could have used that a few years ago.
Thanks for watching john!
Thanks, great tip
You're welcome Pat! Thanks for watching
Clever. thanks.
Awesome video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
THAT WAS GREAT never thought about 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’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
Outstanding
I have not started this video just yet, but I'm gaining your brilliant idea involved 4x 90s or with 45 degree combos ?
Excellent
Is there a standard formula measurment in inches for gap to cutout for the T-off piece?
Damn good tip
Interesting idea I have never tried. I would also add if this ends up not working, you can always cut out the heated portion and add a slip to fit or slip joint instead.
Why not use the slip joint tee to begin with?
Yup you don't need a heat gun.@@jimclark6256
Game changer 👍
A slip coupling works or just dig back a little further on both pipes. Then you can pull them up and slide together 👍💯🇺🇸
Awesome video 🎉
Glad you liked the video Frederick! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share. Thank you
Incredible
Awesome You absolutely do know how to do the correctly That's good cuz I was waiting for it but yeah make the whole little bit bigger and it'll be a whole lot easier for sure And then after you apply your primer whether it's purple or not you need to apply the glue and put the fitting on there within 15 seconds So that's a thing.
No you don't. Manufacturer says within 5 minutes.
Great video if you're a plumber and want more business.
Great Idea!
If you are a idiot 😂
Nice, thanks for sharing
Glad you liked the video Louis!
