This trick works wonders how ever it has less chances of success as the glue gets older. Working as a service plumber and having to deal with pipes that break just after the fitting i started looking for better ideas along the way and the REED clean ream extreme is an awesome tool to remove pipe from a hub end.

😅😅Drop that little screwdriver down pipe in real-life scenario, and you are more screwed than that flathead is!

[AutoANDmore]

Hi i normally do . ..
Cut pipe closer to the elbow heat whit tourch inside of pipe left and whit a flat screwdriver remove the piece of pipe left works every time and will take 40 sec . Chers . Try this one and if you like you can make a video .

As a longtime plumber, I never make mistakes, so this video was of no use to me. By the way, it's always important to plumb alone: you don't want witnesses.

🤣🤣🤣🤣the music synced with final success 🎶 so funny!

You should do a video on fitting PVC pipe. I don't just mean gluing, I mean measuring and fitting complex runs. An issue I often run into is, I dry fit the whole thing, and when I glue it up, it's not the same. I think because the glue allows the pipe to slide in further or something, but, not being a plumber, I haven't quite figured this one out yet.

thanks sis !!! i'll be posting another one soon !

Reusing fittings is very common. The proper method to clear a fitting of pipe is to use a Rambit. It's a special tool that drills out the existing pipe and leaves just the hub to slip new pipe into. A lot of the time its just not possible to remove the old fitting and replace it with a new one or the customer doesn't want to go to the expense of jackhammering up a floor.

You saved me! Thanks for creating this video. I had a broken piece of pipe inside a really hard for source part and I needed it fixed immediately.

How do you save the pipe and not the fitting?

[MrDmadness]

easier to just cut one side of the pipe through to the fitting hum then use a hammer and a chisel and when you get one edge lifted just work it from there. also when re using a fitting that has been saved like this use lots of glue when re guing.

Worked like a charm thanks for the video👍

heat a large piece of metal before you insert it, set it let it weaken the entire joint, then use a drill with a fitting and twist it out, there is also a tool for this that can drill it out exactly. i found it. Reed Tool PPR150 Clean Ream Extreme with 3/8-Inch Hex Shaft, 1-½-Inch Head, 21pcs Hole Saw Kit Carbon Steel, Normal Wood, Plywood, Drywall, PVC Board and Plastic Plate, Hole Saws with Mandrels, Hex Key and Install Plate, Cut Diameter 3/4"-5" Full Set in Storage Box . YOU WILL SAVE A TON OF TIME AND EFFORT and fingers, imagine a tight space.

I had a wash basin and stand (cabinet) fitted in my bathroom. The "genius" that fitted it cut the PVC pipe flush with the wall (gas brick - not dry wall) then discovered he could not install a bend. He then used a lot of silicone to "hold" a bend then connected the drain pipe to it (I trusted his "skill" and did not see what he had done - I am NOT a plumber etc. but am handy). A few months later I spotted water on the floor under the cabinet. Had to remove all that silicone; chisel away the wall around the pipe and I repaired his botched job. I did phone the guy to "relieve my frustration" then removed his name from my

Haha the example he’s using is the absolute best case scenario for the repair…haha would work no doubt…thanks to the handy (vise, fitting is at comfortable height to work on, no obstructions around to get in your way of being able to use a blade to cut inside of that hub) haha not knocking the guy at all …but if you work on the field this probably will never happen this way! Haha…as a union plumber I swear this is by far the best setting for the repair. Cool video though 👍🏼 (when removing the inside of the old fitting inside the hub be careful with prying it piece by piece because you might crack the fitting you actually wanted to use and save and then your totally screwed! Haha. Just a heads up. Good video though

I like the background music when you're making the art of removing the pipe from the fitting

A "Socket Saver" reamer would save you a time of time!!

Thank you so much for the helpful how to video.

Awesome glue, I'm expanding my hydroponics, no, not what you think, it's just veggies, but still, I built one small system and when I decided to expand, I didn't even think about reusing/saving fittings, different glue here in Thailand, I'll try the hands on now, but I'd rather give it to someone for free 😅 30$ for 4x2m pipe, including fittings, they'll have to spend for a pump and a box tho, but worth trying, great video

[andrew]

I done the same thing. But with a sawzall....heat gun works but SOME glue joints cannot be heated.
