Primer doesn't "clean it all, basically). Primer causes a chemical reaction that binds the pvc. Just don't want a diy'er to skip the primer because he bought new, clean PVC.

I had already made a few phone calls for my sprinkler pipe that’s cracked. After watching your video im on my way to Home Depot for materials to do it myself. You’ve earned a subscriber sir. Thank you!

I don't know how many times I've paid a handyman $40 to do this. Thanks for teaching me, I owe you one.

I have done this type of repair before, on a corner piece, but I didn't know how to place the middle piece in a straight line. Your technique is to just lift them up to insert the middle piece, smart. It just needs digging more along the pipe lines.

I found your video after searching for “how to repair a crack pipe”. Not exactly what I was looking for, but still great information.

Now going to do this myself! Thanks sir.

And I appreciate that the doves I hear also appreciate your work. 😁

Man thanks for the video! i fixed mine earlier and i was close to calling someone to repair just because i was hesitant on trying to do it myself and not knowing what to buy. But it turned out great it was messy but i got it done. Thanks alot i saved me some money thank to youre help!

The single piece repair kits have rubber seals/o-rings that can fail over time; your repair method is a better way to go. I'd use thin nitrile gloves to keep the primer and glue off of my hands and otherwise clean. Other than that, it's a good video. 👍👍👍

Nice vid. I’ll be doing this exact project tomorrow. As someone who is not savvy at this work, confident I can tackle it now.

Thank you sir. I gotta fix our broken sprinkler pvc from our crazy snowmageddon here in N . Texas last week.

Nice job with instructions! You make it look easy and I feel confident about doing it myself! Thanks so much!

Glad to see I'm not the only one that measures without rulers 😂

Thanks! I've got 2 repairs to do, not much longer than yours.

Instructions not clear. Neighborhood under water now. Might need a video on how to fix it. 😅

Im a rookie attempting a diy with the same issue. This made my life easier. Thank you brother.

Thank you for sharing this

I like this technique of using that short insert piece since getting a full size piece installed would be impossible. And it's not under much pressure so it should be fine. Great tip!

"Can't find my measuring tape" LOL what you did is exactly what we do in the field as professionals. Even if you started to use a measuring tape you'd end up with dirt and debris in it after so you're better off the way you went.

The video is very helpful ! It gave me the confidence to complete my own repair today.

[strongvoice-LK]

Thank you very much! The “irrigation Specialist” would do well to watch your video. He had a couple of mild tantrums today. He left without completing anything. So I’m headed to Home Depot tomorrow to get the parts I need. I’ll check back when it’s done.

You can use a PVC pipe cutter (looks like a big pair of pliers with blades) to neatly cut the tubing, without burrs.

It dried instantly! Woo Hoo! Thanks so much for sharing!! 😊😊
