Great video on many levels. Very informative. Your thoroughness, attention to detail and consideration enhances your confidence and experience and is much appreciated. Now the only problem is I have this overwhelming feeling of indebtedness... so where do I send the check? Hehe Anyways it’s nice to have your resource available.

[@teraxiel]

I'm curious to know if it is accepted practice to glue the inside of the joint (not the inside of a coupling, but the pipe going into one)? Doesn't this run the risk of creating uneven surfaces that could snag debris?

[@olivialewandowski8750]

I hate youtube, and most of the videos on it, but I'm following you guys. You're awesome.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Haha well thanks for watching and supporting us!

[@trucuriousity]

Mine was Makita! Got me a little 12V set with a drill and mini sawzall. Perfect for a lady...nice and light but powerful enough for anything I'm DIYing. 😁 Later invested in Ryobi ONE for 20v and above, power tools and yard work tools. More cost effective. Love that too.

Very nice! 👍🏾

Good video. And Go Flames Go!

[@LolaandPooch]

Hi, Great video! I'm replacing my shower pan and the drain pipe is 3/8" too short, so I got an ABS coupling ring and piece of ABS pipe (and ABS glue.) The coupling ring seems small for the pipe. I really have to force it onto the new pipe and the drain pipe that's there. Does that seem right? It looks like yours went on easily.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

It should go on easy with abs glue. Sometimes it’s hard to insert the pipe the full fitting allowance when it dry fitted.

[@LolaandPooch]

Does the ratchet cutter make straight cuts, as Im looking for something that cuts ABS STRAIGHT. Im returning the M12 tube cutter and thought Id try the ratchet cutter.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

+Nick Makris yes they do. It’s just hard to cut close to the end of the pipe. That’s the only thing I don’t like about them.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

+Nick Makris thanks for the comment and hope our videos are helpful.

[@nickmakris2971]

@@ThePlumbingGurus . Yes, thanks, I bought the milwaukee M12 tube cutter and quickly realized it was not designed nor are you able to cut ABS straight which is necessary for good plumbing connections. I'll give the ratchet cutter a go.

[@Jdakota]

I was digging this video until the wink at 11:46 killed it for me.. LOL In all seriousness, you dont need to primer before applying the glue?

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

If you are doing abs, no primer is required. If it’s pvc then yes primer then glue. Using pvc primer and glue obviously.

[@shawn4357]

Where do you get that glue? Only glue I find is like water and leaks everywhere.

What about WABS Water pipe repairs? They used it when they put my well in (years ago) now I need to repair a leak.

[@Noah1985HA]

Im replacing a y connector in the middle of my plumbing stack, can/should I use a rubber mallet to tape all around the pipe just after gluing it together to make sure the pipe is as snug as its going to get? I tried dry fitting the pieces and they seemed pretty difficult to push together maybe it's easier with the wet Glue? But also the pieces I'm gluing into are already affixed in their position Soni can't "twists them together I mean I can twist one onto the other but it didn't work very well when I tried to dry fit it

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

It’s definitely easier when the glue is applied

[@Jeffco2]

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Yes, absolutely

Hi. I have a shower drain that had slow leak through some drywall. Removed the drywall and found the ABS pipe inserted in the bottom of the drain pipe was no longer glued and easily slides down. A small amount of what looks like a brown glue residue is visible on the very end of the pipe. The one thing I will not be able to do that is done in the video when applying glue is twist the pipe (since I will be connecting a drain pipe (with a trap) that is otherwise intact into the shower drain. Do you need to do anything else if you can't twist. Additional background: It does not look like glue was applied to the sides of the pipe. I'm guessing that the pipe was not glued properly when the shower was installed (but that happened before we bought the house). The previous owner clearly cut corners and ignored the proper way to do things in a number of cases and we have needed to do clean up of his work in a number of areas so I am guessing this another example.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Just use a bit more glue then usual and test for leaks.

[@pault8584]

Will ABS glue work if you can't do the "twist" at the end? I have to use ABS glue on a drain assembly fastened to a new shower pan, so it has to drop in from above onto the drain pipe. I can't "twist" the assembly and I have to attach the drain assembly to the shower pan first because it is square and fits in a square depression in the shower pan.

[@ThePlumbingGurus]

Yes it is fine if you can’t twist. Just really make sure you have an even amount of glue inside the fitting and on the pipe before putting it in.

[@pault8584]

how do you like the Ridgid set?

@@ThePlumbingGurus Sofar so good. It was the only brand that I had access to which has lifetime warranties on both the tools AND the batteries. I did pick up a Milwaukee drill/driver set (the M12 Fuel) for convenience cuz they're so tiny and a still crazy powerful. I can put the impact in my pocket and forget about it it's so small 😁. I still use my 18v Ryobi set for bigger projects that have bigger demands but the new Fuel set is pretty fantastic.

Ridgid is good. I keep being stupid and buying other brands to save a few bucks or try something different. Ridgid is where it's at.

I just deleted my first comment out of respect for you guys & your channel, you guys seem like cool peeps I am 2 so comment removed & no harm done ✌. In reply to your reply I get it dude title the video "glue" it gains viewers 👍 but it's still your tutorial responsibility to explain the differences between (pvc glue & abs cement) for each amatuer diy'er & viewer watching, valid point? As far as what we call it in the industry, it doesn't matter because it clearly says on the can (abs cement not glue) in that hardware store or when searched on google. This is about viewers buying the right stuff, It's about many people not making the mistake of buying pvc glue for abs pipe. Keep that in mind because this could easily happen (without that specific explanation). That said for all viewers it should be identified properly because people are unaware of it & they might just accidently pick up pvc glue for abs pipe. At the very least put that In the description or add tags over your vid explaining the diff. Preventing failed inspections diy'ers running out buying the wrong stuff or home disasters later, should be just as important as gaining views. Aside from all the proper glue talk here my apologies for harsh approach. I was taken back by no specifics & still hope you edit that in. Good luck with your channel & future vids ✌
