big stores should sponser your video. For someone that doesn't know how to use every single connection out there, this video was extremely helpful.

Although it was a great idea at first, sadly it did not work out for me. Perhaps I grind a little too much but I did add plenty of PVC glue and let it dry for 24 hrs as indicated. Luckily for me, I had no obstruction on either side of the repair - I just had to do it the old way. Thanks for sharing anyways!

[@blackhorse2947]

This is absolutely the best video and information when you have a very small work place to make this type of repair………..👏

[@danresciniti]

My exact situation! Good idea to pre-mark full extension and bend the applicator! Thanks for the video!

[@simojanahi7959]

Thanks for the tips. I am installing mine today.

[@GardenGlimpses-NorCal]

helpful, thank you. how long before safe for water pressure?

[@christophergreen515]

If it’s connected to straight pipe you can turn water on immediately. If you ran it into a 45* or 90* give it 30 mins to an hour for 1” or smaller. The pressure pushes outward so the straight pipe doesnt want to separate whereas a corner get pressed as the outward pressure applies here(hope this makes sense) Bigger stuff, 2” plus, try to let set over night.

[@waltercastro2015]

I always recommend 1-1/2 or 2. Don't cover your work yet. Test your work, no leaks, success. Sometimes depending on the product, instructions gives you specific times and when are considered cured safely to use. Depending on the diameter and pressure pvc. I remember the last freeze we had around 2021, the product label was set at 4 hours which was weird. Due to the cold freeze I took the advantage of turning on the next day. No leaks.

[@warrenmayfield4876]

I tried this and of your pipe isn’t really straight it will still leak.

E Z P Z .. Thank you

[@tripjet999]

One suggestion: Wear disposable gloves.

[@kule510]

Why?

[@RyanNelly]

Must these be fully extended or will likely leak??

[@christophergreen515]

Theres a gasket inside. You should extend all the way if possible but Ive had some fall a little short and had no issue. Just extend as much as possible.

[@themattsweeney]

There are 2 rubber o rings in them ! My first time to try!

[@phantom916]

How does that not leak?

[@thomasdaum1927]

There is an o ring seal inside the slide part . They don’t leak .

[@humblerawat]

What was the size of your irrigation pipe ?

[@AmericanDrinker]

Wouldn't you like to know

[@publicEnima]

this will eventually fail due to the rubber gasket inside the coupler. I don't recommend using it. depend on your location. a plumber used it to repair a waterline and it failed within a year. Had to dig up the whole thing and do it properly. So far it held up 6 years and counting...

[@jrm163]

Two no-stop slip couplings will be cheaper and more durable!

[@projectreaDIY]

Thanks - helpful

You would never see PLASTIC water supply pipes, that near to the soft soil surface in Britain.

[@Blockdagdaddy]
