As someone who worked on sprinkler and drip systems for many years, I found that the best way to fix a broken fitting or pipe is to replace it with the proper new part.

Bad idea for a repair. Hours of work to repair a one dollar fitting. Broken PVC fittings are cheap, fast, and easy to replace. This takes far longer than fixing it the right way and this may still leak. I was a landscape contractor for years and did these repairs as part of my job. The only situation this makes sense is if replacement is impossible due to access, like the pipe is partly embedded in concrete, then this may be the easiest fix. This is clever but impractical. Also, this fitting has a portion gouged out forming a hole, but the fitting is not cracked. For most broken PVC fitting repairs, the fitting is cracked as well, and this will not work on a cracked fitting. This is like trying to fix a burned out light bulb by replacing the filament instead of buying a new bulb.

Very professional work demonstrated by never mentioning any of the materials used.

If your over fifty and we’re into crafts this was used for years. We used turpentine and styrofoam. We coated pictures or homemade log clocks. They cover new river tables with resin. This was how we made resin back in old days.

Just throwing this out there, another idea that I find that works really well is to replace the fitting that’s leaking. Somewhat faster then what’s going on here.

Very nice I'm sure acetone and Styrofoam are very safe to drink

I like your ingenuity! it is always good to know alternative ways of accomplishing a task and using items you have on hand. Thanks for sharing!

I see a lot of people asking what liquid he used on this repair. It was super glue. Super glue melts styrofoam, and the resulting mix, when dried, is structurally stronger then just the super glue by itself. Also, since this repair was going to an outdoor water source, likely for the yard, I would use this method myself.

If you want to make styrofoam glue, just mix it with acetone or gasoline in a pot until the consistency is thicker than honey and pour it down. Much easier than what was done here.

Идея хорошая. Можно растворить в стеклянной баночке пенопласт в ацетоне, густота такая чтобы не стекал добавить коллер цвета трубы и аккуратно замазать дырку.

I live in a remote area of South America where it's not so easy to find a hardware store, I love this.
Thank you very much for sharing👍🏾

Brilliant.. very talented idea.. thank you for your cheapest usage fixation lesson.. God bless you

It's great to know about Styrofoam hack, however it takes to too long, you should just replace it with another " T" to save time and it's much easier.

In rural Russia we use baking soda + "super glue" of any kind with cyanoacrylate. Polimerization is practically instant, adhesion to PVC is robust for this kind of fix.

I have to say that it’s easy to make crappy comments about how much easy it is to go to the store, but I live on a boat and I find this very helpful, don’t get me wrong because as soon as I am able to, I will go to the store and purchase the correct item but as a quick fix it’s great!
I do however carry spares but how many spares should I carry 😂

Excelente, no lo hubiera pensado nunca, gracias!

[rswkkce]

Молодец 👍, спасибо за полезное видео! Век живи, век учись, правильно люди говорят

[jacquelinematthysen]

Well done 👍 thank you for your time in showing how to fix things 😉 keep making videos

[wassie]

I have used this for my rainbarrel, its great thank you.

[kensegovia]

It’s probably cheaper to move but it was a neat “fix”😃👍🏽
