DIY How to fix Sprinkler Leak in 3 min for $5

[@gr8ride411]

Great alternative for those not wanting to buy primer, glue, and more pvc than needed for the job. No more old, dried up glue on the shelves from not being used for awhile. Thank you👍🏽

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

it's not forever fix but it's a quick one if you don't want to bother with cutting pipes and glue.

[@bensorensen4215]

Found this on my way to Home Depot, thank you sir!

[@Bigcheesemonkey1]

I like the inexpensive route here. My preference though is primer, glue, and a slip-coupling. Its quick and easy as well. Always good to have another tool in the bag though! Thanks for sharing

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

I agree with you but this one time I was just in mood for glue so I chose the easy way. Thanks for comments.

[@drewtimekeepsonslipn]

thanks. wish I would have known about this last week when I fixed mine the hard way !

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

Next time you will know the easy way.

[@edgetown1]

Is there a similar product for a leak at the joint connection?

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

not that I know of at the moment

[@ossoares]

Great solution

[@mdsabbirahmed7697]

One very important point..need to be mentioned..for 1/2 inch pipe you need to use 3/4 size pvc couple.always one size up for sliding the pipe.

[@lospolloshermanos2692]

These things are terrible! I had a leak in a pipe when I dug it up it had one of these and the rubber was completely gone! I fixed it the right way with couplers and cement.

[@saauuzza]

Correct this thing is useless will die over time. OK for under the sink where you can see it but not in the ground. Coupler primer cement jobs done.

[@Steve_K2]

I like it a lot, but worry about the rubber seals staying water-tight over the years. Better to go through the hassle of primer, cement, etc, and get a permanent repair? Hope someone answers soon; I've got a broken sprinkler pipe as we speak.

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

I got your point, but there is nothing permanent about anything. I think it will take years before that rubber start leaking. Also, it''s not that deep and it took me 3 min to fix it. I did it cause I was quick. It's up to you how what way you chose to fix your leak.

[@jls5480]

What’s that piece called?

[@jpsinger16]

Seriously, I can't believe he didn't mention the name! After a bit of Google searching i figured out that it's called a PVC compression coupling.

[@ducnguyen3754]

Thank you so much 😊

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

You're welcome 😊

[@justoalma9585]

Use a little dish soap to move the rubber seal.

[@quagmire5765]

I actually used some of my wife's anal lube and worked perfectly 👌

[@CarlosAlvarado-sf6km]

In 8 years the product has increased by 500%

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

thanks for your comment

[@JustMe-gf6gq]

This is a temporary fix bud. Rubber will not hold up over time. Also, you should tighten the nuts with a wrench. Hand tight will most likely leak again. I have a motto, do it right the first time or don't do it at all. This may have been quick and easy, but all you are doing is putting a band-aid on the problem. As a homeowner I want things fixed right.

[@AeQuitaS28]

Nothing will hold up.

[@MucaroBoricua]

Rubber is not a long-term fix.

[@MaciejPiotrowski]

No it's a quick fix

[@AeQuitaS28]

Nothing is a long term fix

[@joeyray9051]

Takes 3 to 5 minutes is crap, you didn't account for digging and cleaning for the area. Just curious, why put the gasket on and slide it 6" down the pipe to push back 6" to screw piece together? 🤦‍♂️

[@AeQuitaS28]

One of the dumbest rants I've read in a while...

[@bryan8354]

they don't work!!! Do not buy them!! Save your money!!
