Learn how to easily tap into buried PVC city and well water lines, as well as sprinkler system PVC pipes to add additional heads using only a small 12" hole in the ground. Works perfectly with 1/2", 3/4", or 1" PVC pipe. Also use this method with a coupling to repair a cracked or broken buried PVC pipe. The method shown in this video can also be used with 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" PVC pipe, but with a higher level of difficulty. A fantastic money and time saving PVC tip for the DIYer! A plumbing tip that everyone should know. Enjoy the video.

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...

@rynophiliac
@rynophiliac 7 күн бұрын
PVC pipe has to be seated all the way into the fitting for the most secure connection. The fitting is actually tapered inside near the stop so the pipe goes in with a nice tight connection. What was done in this video has a high risk of leaking because the pipe is not seated completely into the stop on both sides. This is especially important for pipes under pressure and pipes under ground. Two 90 degree fittings and two street 90 degree fittings for the win 💪

The Primer is a weaker form of the actual PVC Glue, it is actually starting the melting process. So to let is cure (dry) is to basically waste the primer. Fortunately you are using small diameter pipe with minimal pressures. If you did that with large diameter pipe you would have a weak joint. The PVC Solvent should be applied when the primer is still wet. You are extending the melting process when you use primer properly and apply the Solvent immediately after the primer. BTW the directions are on the can.

Two things, one you did refer to the PVC primer as cleaner yet it's real point of using it is to soften that PVC so the cement will weld them together better, now I do use the primer to clean the pipe because I never buy the PVC cleaner & that seems to be OK for me. Now the other thing is the PVC primer really does not do it's job once it's been dried out because the PVC where the primer was placed will just re-harden if it drys out. Try it, put the primer on the pipe then take your fingernail & scrape it, it will dig in some & take off a little of the PVC, then let it dry out & do the same thing. If you doubt what I'm saying just read the instructions, it says not to let the primer dry & to put the cement on & put the pipe together asap. So I would reapply the primer right after heating up the PVC. And I would take just a little more time & dig out the ditch just a little (or a lot) more, but I get it maybe you don't want to dig up the grass, & mess up the yard so much. And one more thought is, because the primer softens that PVC don't get a puddle of it inside that pipe it can soften the pipe through & through over time, I've seen this happen & I had to dig it up & the pipe was bulged out, & leaking. so don't over do it, & if you think you did run some water through it at a low pressure just to wash out the primer. Before there was primer you would rub the cement around & around the pipe to help it soften the pipe before putting it together. I have made slip couplings but they are a little hard to use because the cement just might stick the coupling to the pipe before you get the coupling where you want it to be, so you have to use extra cement & it's kind of messy, but they do work.😁

hopefully the pipe has enough wall thickness to resist the water pressure since heating and bending the pipe may thin the wall thickness which may stay thinned after cooling. May want to bend the pipe on the side where it would be easier to excavate in case of pipe failure.

I never heard of this method but I still would not attempt it because you could compromise the PVC. The proper way to do it is to buy a union. If you do not know what those are I recommend looking into them because they are very good.

You don't have to use the heat gun if you measure the exact cut on the main pipe (you need 2 cuts). To do so, place your fitting on the main pipe and mark the amount of the main pipe which has to go inside of the fitting. And make 2 cuts. One on each side of the main pipe. Deburr, clean, prime and glue both ends at the same time and place your fitting in. You're done. I don't like to apply so much heat to pvc since it may alter the integrity of the pipe.

I've used the heat gun on the plumbing for my geothermal unit. I had to make custom bends to replace a cobbled up mess of angle fittings. Watch the heat, make the bends using a generous radius, looks very nice and made it easy to remove the unit if needed.

All you have to do is file down the internal stops on the inside of the tee so it becomes a slip tee. Mark the pipes for the correct insertion depth of the tee with a marker on both pipes. Use pipe cleaner on the tee and two ends of the pipe. Put the glue both ends of the pipe and the tee. Pull up on the most movable section of pipe slip the tee onto the pipe, immediately slide the new slip tee onto the other side of the pipe to insertion mark and make your final position adjustment.

you can buy a "no-stop" tee or union. you can make a "no-stop" tee or union by using a drill or a round file to remove the "stop". this enables the tee or the union to slide all the way onto one pipe. then you slide it over the other pipe. the "stop" is just a raised ring that prevents the tee or union from sliding past tee opening or the midway point respectively. you can buy them. you might have to order them and wait a bit or just take a file or little wheel grinder and remove the "stop". it's easy. it's quick.
