So I've been in construction 30+ years and all i want to know is who the A holes are that thumbs downed this video--Its Genius.
I've had the same lament. I did notice that the 'clickability' is VERY close together. You can click the numbers to trigger up or down vote. It's my theory that 90% of the people that voted 'thumbs down' actually thought they were clicking thumbs up because the thumbs up number is clickable and the thumbs down icon is so close.
Just a theory, but I caught myself doing it once on a video I liked - I happened to see I voted it down and then realized what happened. If YT took a suggestion, mine would be to make only the 'thumbs' themselves, clickable - that might make the voting more accurate.
I know who clicked the thumbs down.
The prick salesman that sells PVC fittings.
Now this is fantastic! So easy and simple. Sure makes me feel like a dumb ass. Never going to forget this. Thank you for posting video
It would be impossible to get the PVC pipe manufacturer to stand behind the product after the chemical reactions created by the heat, and a '2nd attempt' to glue two parts together after one of the parts had a part heat-removed from it.
I personally like having this option.
But the liability makes it not worth it to me. Particularly when a failure will create a big problem, like sewer line from a toilet or any drain line.
For PVC sprinkler the risk is less because (normally) it's outside and a failure can't affect interior spaces.
But there is a chemical reaction between the bonding agents and the 2 parts when they are assembled for the first time, and the manufacturer of the bonding agent, and the manufacturer of the PVC, there is no way they're going to be on your side if a failure happens and you end up in court. If an expert witness can show what actually happened, you will say to yourself "I should have started with fresh, clean PVC, and fresh bonding agents"
There are some situations where this is incredibly valuable but the gases created by the process alone are very risky. How many 'crybaby' workers have you had over the years - people looking for any excuse to not have to work and collect workman's comp?
Just not worth it. Again, in a non-professional setting, fine. But in a job someone is paying you to do, if you ever get hauled into court, you 100% want to be able to say under oath "I followed the manufacturers' guidelines" without having to lie.
"Penny-wise and pound foolish"
I would not use this technique for any interior spaces. I want new stuff always.
The first time you get sued or something bad happens because you took a shortcut, you will berate yourself if you took a shortcut.

@@Greg_Chase I agree with you 98% But … There are some extremely rare situations where this or other methods might be required, so I give it and others an almost never
Probably the only guy that I have watched on this that actually knew what he was doing. Thanks.
I've been doing PVC plumbing for many years and never knew you could do this. Thanks for sharing. Great info. Just saved me a bunch of work and money on pool valve/pump system I won't have to completely replace if I can take apart some fittings.
Great tip. I've watched a bunch of videos in which the fitting is removed using a hammer and chisel, or a hole saw that grinds it out, but this way is much better because it's easier and it doesn't damage the pipe.
Incredible. Saved me headaches, concrete breaks, and cash . Thank you.
Hey Doublewide, this was a Doublegood tip! I had a PVC shower drain that I installed topside that was too high above the subfloor (I hate how you can't dry-fit PVC) and was struggling to think of a way to pull it out. Your trick worked perfectly, even though I only had a shallow hole saw to work with. I mounted the hole-saw on a long bolt through the arbor hole and managed to soften and pull away the top joint so the drain would free up. That let me lift up the plywood subfloor and get to the trap where I could unscrew it and take it to the garage to pull out the remaining piece.
You're right about the caustic smoke and fumes. Working in a shower stall was nasty - like working in front of a trash fire. Once I got the assembly into the garage, I used a heat gun to pull out the remaining piece - no smoke, but slower. Thanks again for the great tip!
I've seen the best do it and the first step is to dry fit, and use a marker for witness marks .Then glue it. TOH dose it all the time .
Tried this the other day on a broken pvc valve in a pool pump manifold. Saved scrapping everything else out and starting new. My hole saw was slightly undersized, but a couple of heatings got it done. Saved me time, money, and hassle!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING!!!
Great video and neat trick. The point is NOT to save the cost of an elbow. It's more to do with the elbow is already installed and is too closed to the wall giving no room to cut and install another elbow. When the old pipe going into this elbow need to be removed, this trick is a huge labor saver.
Thanks man! You just saved me $160. Three pool stores said i needed to buy a new part and it was impossible to remove a cemented piece of PVC from a part. They were wrong! This method worked and preserved the part!
Ryan Brown me to!
Saved me on an in-ground pool skimmer replacement. Thanks!
I worked with PVC and did irrigation repairs for a large part of life and I can't believe I've never seen this trick! Thanks!
Thank you. Always say it's a good day anytime you learn something been years since I learned anything this cool. Had a job they used 2.5" pvc that I had to reduce to 2". No place within 50 miles sells 2.5" pipe or fittings was able to get to slip reducers but had to have a fitting to use them your trick saved me 2 hours of running plus gas & cost of fittings. worked exactly like you said.
Also you were right to the point unlike a lot of these that try to turn a 2 minute explanation into a 20 minute video. Thanks again in 40 years working hvac never seen any trick explained this clearly & quickly
DUDE! Awesome tip. I've always cut out old fittings & had to replace them. Never thought of using controlled heat before, but totally makes sense and is now tucked away in my DIY arsenal. You just won another subscriber :) Thanks man!
THIS WAS AWESOME TIP!!! TOOK ME 10 MINUTES AND SAVE A MESS ON A POOL SYSTEM REPAIR!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE!!!!!!!
This is a great tip that works like a charm. It’s shown on a number of YT videos but I’m surprised that everyone continues to damage a perfectly good hole saw. An old stub if iron pipe works just as well.
Great tip! I just had a terrible situation in a 4inch pipe flange in concrete. I was very worried about it being 4 inch and in concrete for this to work. If anything were to go wrong or without (this tip), my situation was going to require me to break out the jack hammer, I know plumbing and this could not be repaired with the normal tricks. Thank you so much it worked like a champ!!!!!
You are a man of many talents I usually watch your ride n mower videos. . I can Just by listening to your voice and accent I know it's you. Thanks for all your videos I have learnt a lot from you. Keep it up.
It worked great on a mistake made with 4" PVC. Saved us over $100 on redoing the run we were working on. Using an old hole saw blade worked like a charm. Thanks for the video!
Safest, fastest and most reliable method I’ve seen so far. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! saved my bacon and $30 for a Ram tool. And waiting a few days for delivery. Works on flex PVC spa tubing, as well.
Very impressive. I have been plumbing for 40 years and have never seen this . Much easier than a heat gun. Thx
A far easier way to heat the inside of the pipe you want to remove is to run a small amount of the glue used to glue them together around the inside of the pipe and light it with a match or lighter. (The primer will work in the same way)
It only needs to burn for a few seconds so the small amount flammable substance in the glue will burn out quickly and leave the pipe soft enough to get your nose pliers or a screwdriver between the outside wall of the pipe and the fitting in order to rotate and remove it.
If you think it's burning too long you can simply blow out the flame.
Keep in mind that the burning glue will emit a toxic gas as it burns so take the necessary precautions required to ensure you don't breath it in.
I've used this method countless times over the past 20 years or so and rarely have had a failure.
The only failures I've had have involved getting the pipes too hot so the fitting bends slightly out of shape and the way to fix that is wait until it,s cooled and then reheat it enough to be able to insert a cold piece of pipe into the socket and leave it it in until it's cooled before removing it.
The fitting will regain its shape.
3- Whoa!! I must say this is even better ways. Thank you sooooo much kellio48 you are the winner.
Yes, to the extent that works, it's way easier. I will try it tonight. I wish you had said how long to let it burn. My situation is harder because I have a 2" elbow and in that is a 2" to 1.5" reducer and inside that is a 1.5" pipe. So I will need to remove the little ring of leftover pipe, as per this video and your method, and then remove the reducer. The reducer has a lip outside, making it sturdier than a little ring of pipe, so we'll see!
Saw the picture of what this video was about and caught my eye. Been doing plumbing over 35 years, never too old to learn. Thanks for the tip, could have been using it for the last 35 years, haha., RobbyPipes NYC
your video is the best one , i viewed a bunch and i like yours to remove pvc from fittings keep up those great videos
Thanks so much for this info. It worked great for me and saved me an hour and a half trip to the hardware store. Less pvc in the landfills too!
I went looking for an answer to this and when I realized it was doublewide6 demonstrating this procedure I knew this would work. Used a socket in a 3/4” to 1/2” irrigation elbow and it worked flawless. Thank you doublewide!!
I have a broken 1/2 riser. I couldn't seem to find a 1/2 hole saw anywhere to purchase so I can do the trick. Thanks maltedbarley1 for the idea of using a socket in place of a hole saw. It is after all similar form factor. And of course doublewide6 is a genius! Thank you.
As a Pool/Spa Techncian, I have Been doing it the wrong way all of these years... Using - Either a Ram Bit or a Heat Gun, While both of those methods work very good. But I think this method is "Greeeeeaaaaatt!!! Thank you for the very awesome post - DW6
Hey I really enjoyed this education and wish I would have seen it years ago. I would have never thought of it on my own. Thanks for the great show.
Wow! I've never seen this method used. Your video just saved the day. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Great info
Nice method doublewide. Good idea, I like this better than setting a fire in the pipe itself. 👍
dude that was awesome. never seen 2" pipe get extracted so effortlessly...that was pro.
I just cannot say thank you enough for this video. My parents broke off their cold water line right at the supply line yesterday. We did not know what we were going to do until God led us to your video. Thank you so very much for posting this! I don't even know how much time and money it saved us.
Great to hear. Please think about subscribing. Thanks
Wow greatful words giving credit to our almighty Father. Amen. I will try this tomorrow.
Great video 👍 VERY , VERY helpful. I'm going to use that method when I need to change my pump in the laundry sink !!!! Great !
Great post, a really useful tip to keep in the 'toolbox'
I had a one inch PVC fitting and I didn't have a torch handy so I put a socket on the grill and heated it to over 400f and that was hot enough to remove the fitting. Thanks for this advice. It works great
All that and you got a steak out of the deal as well! Nice thinking outside the box!
Thanks for this video. I had a broken pipe in a tee that was in fitted together with several other tees and no space between them. I thought I was going to have to replace 5 tees, 3 90s and a union and spend all that time putting it together. 5 minutes after watching this I had the piece out.
Nice video and very well put together.
Thank You
Nice man, I’ve been plumbing quite a while and never knew this. Thanks for the video
Very nice loud and clear voice.. i wish every youtuber hell learn from you
This puts the heat right where to is needed. The Open flame and the heat gun don't focus the heat as neatly as this. Thanks.
Actually worked, used an old bike seat stem for my 1.5 PVC irrigation syste.
Well done buddy. Most helpful. Greatly appreciated. Thanks for making effort.
What a great trick! We have needed this a couple of times!
Excellent video tip. You have just saved me many trips to Home Depot.
Not me. I saw his tip while I was in Home Depot.
Good tip, love the torch.
It worked!! I use a socket but I believe a hole saw would be better. I had to try a few times but I just needed to let the socket sit in the long enough.
Thanks for the tip. I always wondered if heat would work, just didn't know ow to go about it. Also thanks for giving practicable applications for this tip. Great video!
1crazynordlander Thanks for watching and commenting. Those pvc videos are really helpful for lots of people. I'm getting great feedback from them.
Saved me a 30 minute trip to get another pvc fitting. Thanks buddy!
+1crazynordlander A far easier way is to use the pipe glue , paint it on the inside of the pipe to be removed set it on fire and remove the soft PVC with a screwdriver.

thanks for the great video I have always done it with an open flame your way is so much better thank you so much
I've been around for a long time and didn't know this. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the info. Great presentation and tips.
I've watched other tips on this but they don't really mention the heating time or the time to leave it in the pipe, thanks for that info.
pretty cool I found a craftsman 1 1/8 socket works pretty darn good too .. just place it on the stove let it heat up and do the same thing
A 1,000 thanks! This is brilliant and just saved me a whole lot of work.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing and helpful tip, thanks!
I'm going to have to do this to a few fittings on my pool sand filter send and return pipes as I replace the unit. The pipes are all still good, but have been patched with couplings over time, and now need new pipe so I can put in unions for all three (in, out and backwash). This will make changing out filter media soooo much easier in the future! Thank you for this great tip. Now, to Lowe's to get a 1-1/2" hole saw fitting! LOL
I'm amazed at everyone commenting here that thet are doing pools. That's what I'm going too! My job is so much like your that I actually checked your comment to see if I had written it. I have been wanting to completely redo my pre-me piecemeal pool pad plumbing. My professional level procrastination has me working tonight and appearing in municipal court day after tomorrow for a green pool. Out of time, I really tried to resist doing more than I absolutely had to, but I've got a new pump, new custom engineered and fabricated pump base, pump cover, new mutli-port valve, all new pipe from pump to valve, all new waste pipe with a custom engineered and fabricated funnel drain for the filter air bleed valve (to keep water off my gorgeous new Pentair pump), and new 2" pipe from filter to water heater.
Excellent! I used an old 14mm socket to repair a broken joint in 3/4 inch irrigation pipe that was buried.
Awesome! Do you know size socket for 1 inch pipe?
i didn't know you could do this! thanks dw6!
You saved me a lot of time, thanks.
You just saved me from cutting a wall open!!! Worked like a charm
Great tip. I run into this problem a few times, now I know what to do. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
It works!!! Just saved myself a lot of time and frustration.
Really helpful, thanks for sharing!
That’s a nifty method. I’ll have to try that with some smaller fittings at work.
Heat releases many glues. Good Tip, thanks.
What's a brilliant idea thanks soo much. You saved me a lot of trouble times and $$$.
Great video. Thank you!
oh man this saved the day! thank you for this! took me about 2 heat cycles of reinserting the the bit before the pvc became flimsy enough to dislodge. I tried using a spare 9/16" deep socket and extension for 3/4 sprinkler pvc pipe which seemed to work pretty good too as I didn't have a hole saw bit on deck that fit the 3/4" pipe. Gyrating the hot socket around inside the pipe helping spread the heat around evening I assume, then using a flat head screwdriver and needle nose to twist and dislodge the pipe from the fitting. almost sounds porno! thank you!
I like the deep socket idea!
Even porno doesn't usually have that much heat.
I try so many methods for salvaging the fittings but i never successful to achieve good result.well when i saw your clip,believe me,i try 5 time rescue my fittings and i have success in 4 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !and 1 time cause of failure is my prematurely pull out of metal piece from fitting.thank you for guidance sir.
Great video, makes this job too easy
Nice work man
Nicely done!
Outstanding video.
Great Tip. Thanks for sharing
Very good information about remove the glued pipe from lbend God bless you all
Great tip man!
Great Info Video. Well presented.
This video is so helpful thank you so much
That's good, useful info. Thanks for posting this.
buen video. gracias.
Pure genius. Thanks for sharing.
giving this ago tomorrow morning- looks like a go
great video
Buen video!!! Saludos!!!
Dad gum, 64 yo and never knew. It work like a charm. I let the elbow cool and it must have shrunk a bit so the new pipe was just a tad big. H warmed the elbow up just enough to get the pipe in and let it cool now it fits perfectly.
We just don’t know what we don’t know. Thanks
There's known knowns, and known unknowns. You were troubled with the unknown unknowns.
Great tip. Will help me some day I know. Thanks
worked like a charm, almost too easy!
Thanks for the tip. My question is, well the elbow keep a perfect round as new? Will it make a good sealed connection with new pipe after applying the glue?
Brilliant. Thank you!
Cool tip, thanks! Any ideas on how to patch or repair an expensive multi-directional valve on a pool system?
yes, replace it and move on, later you'll be glad u did!
Best yet!
Is it ok to prime and cement over old primer?
Great video
Does it have to touch the pipe, or just hold it internally? I need to remove a 2" pool pipe from a coupling and it is in the horizontal position, so I would need to balance it in the middle so it doesn't just lay at the bottom. Do you think hovering a 1.5" within the center will be enough heat to make the inner pipe soft? Thanks
Great tip! Tks and God bless.
Really good thanks for the share !
Worked like a charm Thanks
The hole saw use is great.
Thanks exactly what I needed.
Genius my friend....genius!
