The easiest thing I would’ve done is to cut pipe at the end where there was a 90 degree elbow where the pipe goes into the ground it would have eliminated all that work
I was literally coming here to say the same thing. Bet this guy spent a couple hours fixing this simple plumbing problem if he would have done it the correct way it would take 10 minutes at the most.
Looks good but won’t last under pressure. Proper repair would be to use 3 threaded unions. The integrity of the pipe was ruined with the heat gun & bending of the pipe
Okay so what's the lesson in this? Well just for starters...if you leave just one of the pipes mobile this goes together easy. Second, if pipes are not mobile at all, you can use a PVC compression coupling or dig up one side left or right to bend that joint together. From a former irrigation installer.
Whenever you add heat to something you alter its structure molecularly so therefore it's probable that is fittings were not properly installed in a leak may result
Why not bust open the tops of the other two pipes, so you could get repair couplings down in there? Actually you would only need to open the top of one more pipe. The first pipe would have plenty of room for a coupling if the others were moved out of the way.
In a pinch I have done something like this to make a M-F pipe into a F-F, but do yourself a favour and use a tenon saw for cutting the PVC - it is much faster than a hacksaw and you get a straighter cut.

I guess if you don't have access to the right parts this would be ok, but not the correct choice. I am guessing India where all our safety training videos come from😆
Won't meet code where I live and can be done very easily with slip connectors which are made for situations like this. I feel like you should include a warning that the way this was done will not meet code in some locations.
It seems it is a chamber arrangement with two inputs and one output.The output pipe should have been lower than the input level. 2)if it is one input and two output, the two output pipe s should be lower level than the one input pipe.
Irrigation Engineer here... nope, that looks like drainage pipe and for drainage I try to never use T's but Y's... for SCH 40, is better to use threaded unions or slip couplings... good video for an emergency, but I would not recommend. And if you need to build a block/concrete box, leave room for future repairs (I always leave the fitting on one side of the box, that gives me space if I need to use couplings).
I'm not a plumber but this doesn't look like it is up to code in the U.S. If this is a supply it may not hold up to the pressure. If it's a drain then drain fittings should be used.
Not the correct way to do this you're changing the molecular structure of the PVC pipe and in New England with the seasons the temperature variations due to weather
So heating the pipe makes it weaker no cleaner and well just buy 3 couplings and be done with it ppl damn!! Probably leaking before he posted this video
Started the video with 3 sides cemented in. Until he had a problem with the final tie in, then the pipe was exposed on top. Kinda makes the video redundant.
Making up 3 connections at one time? There ain't enough time, can't twist pipes into place as recommended. Bet there were dry joints, especially after heating up the glued joints to pretty up all those twists added to do this THE HARDEST WAY POSSIBLE. See, here in America, where PVC originated, we established what is called a set of BUILDING CODES AND Best Practices Standards. We created ASME and ANSI Standards, along with some pretty good testing procedures to control how those were created. But hey, the rest of the world just needs a hair dryer and some clear glue. You do you, dude. I'm guessing this is a water supply system, since the tee didn't have a sweep. And even though the pipe is grey, it for SURE isn't electrical conduit without a sweep on the tee.
Also not a good repair heating PVC changes the molecular structure here in New England with the seasons it doesn't hold up when the extremities of weather prevail shortening lifespan changing molecular structure don't know what else to tell you but you're doing it wrong do it right or don't do it at all or hire someone but I certainly wouldn't hire you
Хобби
repair coupling is the right way. but I am impressed with these tradesmen who do so much with so little.
Imagine how much simpler it would have been if the Tee had fitted before someone put a handful of mortar around the pipes.
Shouldnt heat it you should use a slip coupling or use a flat rasp to file down the stop inside a regular coupling.
Maybe when putting the pipes in before you set them in concrete you put the tee in and there is no problem?
I like this, heated to reshape before cement instead of buying coupling adapters. A small space to work, and other pipes already in place.
Super heating to bend the pipe and then reheating will result in a shorter life span of the connections
No it won't. I have done this trick dozens of times. Last time was in the 80's and water pipe is still holding strong after almost 40 years.
@@olliechristopher467 good for you its still a hack job
Repair coupling ended up being used since you see near the end of the video cement was removed to finish the repair on one of the lines.
2 unions and 1 coupling will fix it correctly
That’s what I was thinking the entire video.
Doesn’t heat reduce its integrity?
The easiest thing I would’ve done is to cut pipe at the end where there was a 90 degree elbow where the pipe goes into the ground it would have eliminated all that work
I don’t like the heating. There is a better way.
I was literally coming here to say the same thing. Bet this guy spent a couple hours fixing this simple plumbing problem if he would have done it the correct way it would take 10 minutes at the most.
I agree with your comment....but...if in the bush....no stores around that are open...this....will....work.Btw......this is a nice exam question

Great work.... Like the way you straighten The pipe back
Easy, get 3 slip joints

If I fixed stuff like this I would be without a job. This is criminal...
Whenever you add heat to something you alter its structure molecularly so therefore it's probable that is fittings were not properly installed in a leak may result
Agree
That was the best method to repair a horrible situation. Good job. Hope it’ll help me in the future
Why not bust open the tops of the other two pipes, so you could get repair couplings down in there? Actually you would only need to open the top of one more pipe. The first pipe would have plenty of room for a coupling if the others were moved out of the way.
Because they were too lazy to do it!
Lol
Try doing that with Schedule 40 pipe.. works well with drains, though! I like!
Schedule 40 pipe in the USA is too thick for this trick
I was just thinking the same thing....schedule 40 and schedule 80.....I as in ME....have encountered difficulty in trying to manipulate pvc with heat
It's nice to know he is using a BLACK+DECKER Heat Gun, Corded, Dual Heat Settings up to 1000 Degrees, 1350 Watt (HG1300).
Just fittings that fit inside pvc pipes
Good work...but probably took 12 hours to complete!
Should have cut the pipes to the correct length and fitted the tee piece before burying the pipe work, it would have been a lot quicker.
The fly was trying to tell you, "Dont do it this way," but flies are hard to comprehend.
Like to see him do that was scheduled 40pipe
🎉must be one side extension in straight line is longer to be an ajuster,
That's why no hub is so awesome plus it's quiet when some one flushed. No hub can be installed pulled apart and reinstalled no problem.
patel! that's some dope pvc cement right there
Sure is!
we NEVER use thin wall under ground!
In a pinch I have done something like this to make a M-F pipe into a F-F, but do yourself a favour and use a tenon saw for cutting the PVC - it is much faster than a hacksaw and you get a straighter cut.
Be sure to check back on the follow up video: Repairing Leaks You Caused Yourself
Rubber fernco couplings will fix it. Not affro engineering.
Where's the purple stuff..... Amateurs

He doesn't have a clue. It won't work for long if it works at all
As soon as I saw this guy cutting pvc with a wobbling hacksaw instead of proper cutters I knew he didn’t know wtf he was doing.
Won't meet code where I live and can be done very easily with slip connectors which are made for situations like this. I feel like you should include a warning that the way this was done will not meet code in some locations.
You forgot the cleaner/primer (the purple stuff). It makes sure the glue adheres to the plastic. Without it you could easily get leaks.
That’s why they manufacture compression Ts
You should not glue inside a joint will cause blockages
Ingenius!!!
It seems it is a chamber arrangement with two inputs and one output.The output pipe should have been lower than the input level.
2)if it is one input and two output, the two output pipe s should be lower level than the one input pipe.
But will this work with thicker schd 40 3/4" PVC piping?

Lovely
Works great as clickbait, as plumbing, not so much.
I'm not a plumber but this doesn't look like it is up to code in the U.S. If this is a supply it may not hold up to the pressure. If it's a drain then drain fittings should be used.
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the US.
Absolutely do not use this method unless you want the pipe to fail.
Not the correct way to do this you're changing the molecular structure of the PVC pipe and in New England with the seasons the temperature variations due to weather
Very nice
How did that pipe stay fixable that long ?
Sch 200
Maybe you could have made a slip socket also …?
So heating the pipe makes it weaker no cleaner and well just buy 3 couplings and be done with it ppl damn!! Probably leaking before he posted this video
E seu embolso ficou ao contrário.
Is this why plumbers get paid by the hour?
Started the video with 3 sides cemented in. Until he had a problem with the final tie in, then the pipe was exposed on top. Kinda makes the video redundant.
I can’t believe I just watched that.

You massively screwed up at 6:35, and then redid it off-camera! 🤣🤣🤣
Ferncos are my friends
Or use 2 slip couplings
1 union was all that was needed.
Why they just won't use rubber no hubs
Great job
What a bodge !!!
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
What a complete cluster. I'm sure most of you know what I mean by 'cluster'!
Chuck in 2x mac unions and youll be sweet as.
Oooooooooorrrrrrrrr you could just it the correct way with repair coupling and avoid a TON of extra work and hack job!!!
Install it correctly in the first place......
Install 3 socket end unions @ ends of the tee and each pipe, tighten them, and done in half the time spent doing everything you just showed 🤔
Not exactly the best efficient way to get a Tee between there...
That's why they invented the "telescope coupling"!
😮😮😮😮
Not the recommended way. This would never pass code.
Also not a good repair heating PVC changes the molecular structure here in New England with the seasons it doesn't hold up when the extremities of weather prevail shortening lifespan changing molecular structure don't know what else to tell you but you're doing it wrong do it right or don't do it at all or hire someone but I certainly wouldn't hire you
Don’t be jealous
All you need is a combi
Meh. I don't think so.
Excelente trabajo mi amigo
Very well done !!! 👏
Pretty impressive
Ever hear of a union?
Good grief! 🙄
Fantastic
Thanks
Very nice idia
How not to do it. They have slip couplings for this. 10x faster
Brilliant
Pitiful…..u need a plumber
👍👍👍👍👍👍
There is a very simple method to do this, but this fellow has no ingenuity or the skill.Waste of our time
nah
No!!!!!
this is third world plumbing a total disaster
🤮🤮🤮
HACK
This is the typical non-union lack of knowledge way to do things.
freaking hack...
Hack job!
Dude took all day to fix a 10 minute job and destroyed the integrity of that crap class pipe. Unions suck! Use a damn slip fix!
what a butcher
Just stop
