I would recommend also cleaning the patch piece. Then prime the patch as well to aid the glue. Lastly, the glue sets very fast so you should have the clamps already around the pipe before applying primer and glue. Good luck to all.
I was thinking to do the exact same thing on my 4” sewer line lol. Told myself there has to be a video of someone else doing it just to confirm a patch like this is legitimate. Thanks for the justification.
You should have completely replace the section of pipe with fernco or no hub clamps.... These clamps are made of rubber, slide them onto the pipe in the ground on both sides and then place the new section of pipe in place. Then move the rubber coupling back to cover the new section of pipe on both ends. Then tighten it down and your done! Professional job done right! 35 years in the plumbing trade here!
Did not see this coming. Though you were going to cut the broken section out and replace it with new pipe. IT work without leaks so good job and wil consider this method in the future.
Just a question, do you use a 4 inch pipe to patch another 4 inch pipe or the size is bigger? You said in the video is a 4 inch but I would like to confirm, thanks for the video.
First problem is the pipe is very close to the surface which makes it prone to future damage. Yes ASharpEdge the patch piece needs to be primed and even glued also. Instead of using clamps its possible to cut the pipe lengthways on one side and just slip it over the damaged area. No clamps required for non pressure stormwater type pipes. Alonsowitt below is also right in Australia we call the rubber Hub clamps (Plumquicks) I would never patch a sewer line as per video. I would use the Rubber Plumbquick clamps
Sewer line is low pressure and can be repaired using a method like this. I would recommend reading my other comment and not using for indoor repair unless you can be certain to get a perfect air seal.
Just for educational purposes, I mean no disrespect but it looks like you used CPVC glue on PVC. Unfortunately the solvents in CPVC cement are not aggressive enough to make a good chemical bond when used on PVC. Always use the solvent cement that is meant for the type of plastic you are bonding together. At least you put those hose clamps around it to keep it secure.
@@brandonbaker9027 Yes, you could cut on both sides of the hole and put a new piece of pvc in and attach with 2 ferncos. This method is just a little cheaper and works fine for a drain line.

Thanks for the great tips! Always welcome.

No problem. Good luck with the project!
Me too, I thought the exact same thing someone had to make a video. We had underground pvc with similar hole as one in the video.
Found a similar hole and was thinking to patch it this way to save myself the hassle of digging a massive hole and then I found this video-perfect!
Great, glad I could help! Pretty easy project!

Simple and straightforward. Thumbs up.
Thanks!
You Da Man…da fix-it man! Thanks for sharing this tip…it’s sure to help others! Your assistant did a GREAT JOB…lol❤
Ha ha, thank you!!
Thanks sharing this Flip, will be very helpful when I repair my underground PVC pipe with a similar hole.
No problem. Good luck with the project.
Great fix!
Thanks!
Great job
Thank you!
Great job, Did you use the schedule 40 PVC pipe for patching?
Thanks and yep!
This helped me fix my pvc storm water pipe 3:33
Glad I could help!
Excellent
Thank you.
Wow! Thanks flip
No problem!
Great video thx!
Thanks and no problem!
Just a question, do you use a 4 inch pipe to patch another 4 inch pipe or the size is bigger? You said in the video is a 4 inch but I would like to confirm, thanks for the video.
Yes, same exact size!
One thing I would also do is drill 1/16" -1/8" hole at the ends of each crack so they don't grow.
Interesting tip! Never heard that one before.
Heck yeah I wanted to try this
Easy peasy.
Nice!
Thanks!

Just got hit the big pipes out of my garden. It's high pressure though. Need help.
Hi! Did you fix it?
I broke the pipe which pumps the water to the swimming pool.
amazing!
Thank you!
I have the same situation. Accidentaly poke it with pick axe. Will do this one. Thanks
Yep. Hit mine with an aerator like a dummy.
Did it work for you?
@@hamedriyahyzadeh8414yup, its only drainage in my backyard. No pressure
@@hamedriyahyzadeh8414 Worked perfectly fine for me.
They make couplings for this
What about fixing a hole on an elbow?
I was excited to see this but you said for a low pressure water. It don't help for my problem. Mines a sewer line. Great video though
Thank you. Hope you get it fixed soon

@@ASharpEdge Yes, agree with ASharpEdge.
What do you think about this? Gravel backfill the hole so as to discourage roots growing in the event of patch failure?
Never seen it done that way but I can see where you're coming from! Makes sense.
it is easier to cut out the piece and clamp in a new one with no hub couplings.
Thanks for the input.
This is clearly in a warm climate area with as close to the surface as this pipe is
It's just a down spout drain pipe that ends a couple feet away.

Never seen that before, when I clicked on this I expected to see him use 2 ferncos
That would work, too. But not really needed on a low pressure drain line like this.
@@fixitFlip but that’s what Fernco are made for aren’t they?
@@brandonbaker9027 Yes, you could cut on both sides of the hole and put a new piece of pvc in and attach with 2 ferncos. This method is just a little cheaper and works fine for a drain line.
so you forgot to prime the "patch"
Yes I could have added a little around the outer edge of the patch. Should have no problem holding being a low pressure line.
That looks to be very cheap PVC . There is gray colored plastic pipe called Schedule 40 and 80 ? That is made to be put under ground , concrete , etc.
yo turn the water on and show there is no leak after the fix
Turn on the rain?
Haha
This is not the right way
Share your knowledge.
@@fixitFlip cut the broken piece out put coupling on each side put in the uncut pvc pipe make sure it fits prime and glue.
