you can knock the centre out of a normal collar to make a "slip collar" with a screwdriver and save some money :)

you ain't digging enough if you don't hit a pipe now and then, they are slip collars you have but you can use normal collars with the internal lip just takes a bit of time knocking the internal lip of 👍

Ah mate, you think you had a problem with a drain lol, our nee video goes out today at 2pm, I hope you get a chance to see if because we gave our customer a new waterfall feature for a couple hours! Those bloody drains are no joke!!

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

[@DJProjectss]

@@tidybrickslandscaping no I don’t think they did lol, thanks buddy means a lot! Keep up your good content!!

I’m doing a similar job for other reasons and my repair collar is on one side but I cannot move it. Tried heating it with hot water but still no move. Any suggestions apart from hitting it more?

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Did you use a lubricant? to help it slide

[@paulf2529]

Doing my share of ground work and machine driving I permanently keep a metre or so of 4 " underground a couple of slip couplers and a couple of clay to pvc gaiters along with a length of 25 and 20mm mdpe a couple of straight couplers for each and a couple of philmac universal transition fittings along with a squeeze and stop tap key. £100 of bits but no stress if I do hit something and no matter how careful you are it happens now and again and usually 3pm on a Friday!!!

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Fix a 4 inch pipe? You don't need a 5 min video for that. Just break up with him. That took 5 seconds MAX.. ;)

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

😆

[@jc-fy1wl]

Is there a small step where the new pipe meets the old pipe inside the sleeve? If so, could this cause any problems like a build up of waste over time?

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Try keep it as tight as possible but the sleeve will keep everything together 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
