That "ow" sound scared the shit out of me because I was doing stuff at the same time
Same thing
Same
I heard it too
I was loading a dishwasher and had just picked up a knife, and was focused on the video
I had to rewind it to make sure it came from the video. Being home alone, that "ow" scared me pretty good
That ow got me lol, im sitting at home alone and thought some jackass hurt himself breaking in
Me too omg
Same lol
Foreallll
Dam me too
i replayed it twice bc i was so confused lmao
Why not put an anchor point on your floor... That way you don't need weights just secure one end to the anchor and the other end to your scale don't need to worry about weights then.... And if you make the loop on the anchor point removable you don't need to worry about tripping over it
Awesome idea man! Hopefully he sees this.
Tyler needs to see this it’s genius great idea 👍🏼
Good idea
Bc hes dumb
To anchor in concrete you need to drill into the concrete then not taking it out. It's a garage he probably doesn't want to destroy his floor and trip over a anchor point. I know I wouldnt.
I remember finding your flex glue video and thinking itd be a one time thing
man was i wrong
Same wtf
Same here
Ahegao ❤️
@@justinpalmer423 no

Can't believe he wasted all that Draino!
I could've drank that...

....you shouldn’t say that kind of stuff....but same.....🙃
Bleach taste better
A mixture of Drano (Sodium Hydroxide) and Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) will unplug even the most constipated guts... guaranteed! lol
You should test the new T-Rex tape. It clamps to hold 900lbs
maybe you made a typo and meant claims?
@@mdk-west No way. T-rex tape fuckin clamps the competition in its Dino-jaws.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
Idk what it was

Probally
Might have been an innuendo 😏
He's diffently the weird uncle who stays in the garage always tinkering with flex-seal and draino
i wouldn't mind having this guy as an uncle. with all the tinkering im sure im gonna have lotsa things to try test and play with without destroying my own home😂
Omg. Subbed just for the "because of who i am as a person, i dont always think things through" i am the same way. Im not dumb, just over look things sometimes
For future reference, always clean and glue BOTH pieces to be joined together. This makes a much stronger joint and is required by code in most states. Not really necessary in this application but I would highly recommend it if you're ever going to do any home plumbing.
Dude i think we all know just makes pipes out of flex seal you will have the strongest pipes in the universe
He like everyone’s comment but not urs

The results were as expected. Drano by itself will have no effect on the PVC (or ABS) pipe. It is when these chemicals come into contact with organic matter that they react, and sometimes give off a LOT of heat. It is this heat that can damage a pipe. Jam a bunch of hair into the pipe to create a strong clog and try again, except measure the temperature of the pipe where the clog is.
Show me a damaged pipe by this kind of heat then. Link please.
@@miguelortega7806 Maybe read my comment again... I never said I have seen a damaged pipe by this kind of heat. I merely suggested measuring the pipe temp at a massive organic clog.
@@kenhoward127 you said the heat could damage the pipe, where have you seen this
@@hitnrunconman8438 I think you need the Evelyn Woodhead speed reading course. Please quote exactly where I said that. Good luck.
@@kenhoward127 Are you trolling or just brain damaged? I'm gonna copy paste your comment. "It is when these chemicals come into contact with organic matter that they react, and sometimes give off a LOT of heat. It is this heat that can damage a pipe."
Source your claim that you're claiming not to have claimed lmao
I would think that drano on a brand-new pipe won't do much. But a pipe that's been a bit damaged through usage already, that could make a difference.
What about DWV copper?
Drano is diluted hydrochloric acid which means it is super reaktive to all kinds of different stuff. PVC or PolyVynylChloride (if I recall correctly) is super unreactive. This means the acid has no chance at attacking it.
@@adamk5487 But if we do your experiment with the copper tube there will definately be a difference. You can look at youtube experiments reacting copper coins with hydrochloric acid. There is a strong reaction and the copper breakes down. So a copper pipe definately does something, however it could either take a long time or the solution of drano + copper gets too saturated and nothing can react anymore. This means he would have to change the drano a few times maybe.
I mean if you had a pissy or shitty clog that was blocking a crack or hole then the drano product removed it then yes you would have an issue lol. Maybe create some cracks and holes and seal it with something similar to what you would find” down under and see what the drano does.
@@annonym12321 It's the opposite, drano is sodium hydroxide solution, which is an extreme base. There are drain cleaners that are acids, typically sulfuric.
Hydrochloric might do an okay job of clearing a drain if you let it sit for a while but it would likely etch metal piping if you have it in your sink like a lot of plumbing traps are made of.
You called the 90s elbows and the couplings straight connectors 😂😭😭
That hurt me as a commercial plumber
He also forgot to put primer and glue on the pipe itself. There needs to be glue and primer applied to both the pipe and the fittings
Michael Wheeler i missed that, it mustve happened when i was writing the comment lol
Yeah. You can't get a good weld if you don't prepare both sides of the pipe.
@@RabbitsInBlack wins for the day. Bet any money that prepped and cured properly the pipe breaks before the joint does.
TheSatchrox easily
What about rubber gaskets? 🤔
Edit: ive recently had a leak under my sink somwhere after using draino if it doesnt effect pvc all that much what about rubber gaskets?
This^^^ Also just to see what drano can REALLY do try like a week? Maybe a landlord who is getting a house ready to rent pours it in and then leaves and forgets it and its doesn't manage to get through the blockage.
Alot of the damage would be caused by the sulfuric acid that most drain cleaners have in them witch breaks down foods and other things you put down the drain and that is why most of them say not to use in metallic pipes because that will break them down but car batteries are made from plastic and contain more amounts of sulfuric acid and do just fine the leak may be caused by the age of the rubber gasket and what ever build up on the inside of the pipes that the Drano cleaned away
@@russjess18 no way there is sulfiric acid in cleaning products. You would be crazy to use that as it reacts super exothermic with water. This would mean water could start to boil, evaporate and destroy your pipes due to the expansion of gasses. Cleaning products always use diluted hydrochloric acid. Your statement about the metal pipes is not wrong though as hydrochloric acid basically acts in the same way as sulfiric acid only slightly weaker.
It comes in a plastic bottle that is weaker than pvc. The metal and rubber as you guys stated is where the issue is.
@@whitey2shotpewpew825 it all depends on the type of plastic its stored in thats why the most dangerous acids if not all are stored in a plastic bottle not glass or metal. If it were any other type of plastic youd have a bad time.
As a plumber it's hard to watch you make those glue joints
Christofer Green dame lol he should has used 711 grey glue!
I know so painful! Looks like he didn't use nearly enough!
Christofer Green he should test this with abs
Wow! Its harder to read your reply, as a plumber you do not criticize others unless its needed, are you sure you are qualified. If so, why do you not see the failings in this test? I would trust his joints more than yours after reading your respond, it may be slightly ugly and less professional, but it works. You my friend don't know much about cause and effect in plumbing and THAT is scary!
Kitt Liversage as a plumbing too I think we could both agree that there is a better way he should’ve glued the joints together and it’s not as if he’s directly attacking him on how bad and wrong he did glue them. He was just stating it’s hard to watch him do it since he was brought up doing it another way no issue with that. If your a plumber where are you around and what do you do for work you a local union guy or working residential or commercial type
One of these days his roof will collapse using that pulley
He use flex-tape and repair it
Lol. I was thinking the same thing.
People be making some weak ass buildings lol
A building is only strong if it can deflect a meteor at 3 quintillion times the speed of light even when stationary
Let me tell you about my two experiences as a licensed plumber with these drain clog clearing chemicals.
Both times , nasty fumes (potentially life threatning) filled the buildings , one of those incidents melted the pvc pipe flat inside the wall of the home.
In both cases bleach was poured in drain first , then followed by liquid plumber.
In both cases I was called after the fact to see what I could do to rectify the situation.
Call a plumber before you do chemistry in your pipes. It's your home and your family's health.
What you are describing is natural selection at its finest. Sometimes it's best to let nature take its course, it'll develop humans into a stronger species...

Tyler:Alright guys so I left this for a month sort of forgot about it
*Rhett And Link: The Shelf We Leave Things On*
Being a plumber I wanted to scream when you applied the glue and primer. You're supposed to prime and glue both sides of the pipe and fittings. Otherwise there isn't a good bond.
Not saying he glued them wrong but Usually when I do piping I cut then sand down the ends then use the cleaner on the ends and inside the couplers then put the cement on the ends and inside the coupler as well and as I put it in I twist the pipe and coupler about a quarter of a turn so it spreads evenly to each mating surface.... never had a pipe joint break on me 👍🏻
Sounds like u are a plumber or have been taught correctly plus it's a bad test he did not measure twice then cut once lol. As a plumber myself (commercial and residential) you do not have to sand the fittings or pipe the purple primer melts the glazed finish off so the the pipe cement (more of a vulcanizer) can melt the 2 product of polyvinyl chloride together
Just gotta to make sure there is no burs on the end
I can assure you no plumber does this lol I have plumber for 10 years and never done this and nothing has ever broke nor leaked
Man yer videos are something of a fresh breath. As a Norwegian that does bot have access to the materials, seeing yer reviews amd personality at work is a highlight.
Keep up the good work man!
Always mark and label your jars it's an important step in any experiment containing dangerous liquids. Love the videos stay safe!
@TylerTube Don't know if this has already been said but, drain cleaners react with hair, dirt, soap scum etc. what ever it is causing you to use a drain cleaner in the first place. This reaction can generate a lot of heat, it's the heat the drain cleaners generate that cause the problems with pvc pipe and joints whether they be glued joints or compression joints.
So not the product that causes the issue its the reaction with what the product is trying to clear.
I kept saying to no one in particular, "You need an actual clog in there to get a realistic test."

You have to be the most entertaining youtuber within this genre. I don't even know what most of the things you test are but there's just something about you and the way you test stuff that's really entertaining.
Anyone else get nervous when he was using the hoist to bend the pvc in the direction of his head? Tyler, you've got to protect that beard from projectiles! It's a national treasure boy!
I was eating pizza and when i went to pick a piece up the ow sound made me think the pizza spoke so I had to rewind the vid to make sure I wasn't hearing things
Glad to see ya move on from the whole flex glue and glue stuff the more variety the better (not sayin that the flex glue stuff sucks just that it can get a bit old),also would love to see more of the katana for the lulz :D

Did someone allready get it?
The short answer for if draino affects the bonds between pvc pipes is no. PVC glue uses a solvent bond, not an adhesion bond like most glues people are familiar with. A solvent bond actually melts the surface of the material its bonding so the 2 pieces fuse together into one. solvent bonds are significantly stronger then adhesion bonds and arent affected by solvents.

Tyler I love your humor so much. This little hidden ones jokes. And the contents are great too 😘
You make quality content and you put so much thought and care into your videos. Keep it up!
Thank you!
I work with strong sodium hydroxide (drano) and we run it through cpvc with no rinse, zero problems. Generally you only need to worry about sodium hydroxide deteriorating organic matter, which is why it's great for clearing drains.
I thought someone got hurt in my house when I heard that *_OW_* sound🤣
I absolutely love this channel lol I love how small you were a few months ago and in the past few weeks you have been growing so fast it’s awesome
Because you mixed flex glue and seal add that to the adhesive of flex tape and test it
Keep up the good work bro. Watched one of your videos and ended up watching all of them!
Only thing I don’t like is the music but ur channel is 👌 fantastic
Thanks for your demo, fixing my clog kitchen sink. Will be using Drano without hesitation.
You really used a skillsaw to cut PVC 😂😂😂

@@UraniumFever911 that ain't a reciprocating saw. It's a circular saw. Are you not a man who does DIY? Are you a "call someone else in" type of guy
This was cool to watch. However as a former plumber the comment you made at the end about not expecting to see it melt, is the actual danger most plumbers would warn you about regarding Draino. Prolonged exposure to draino will cause PVC to melt and warp. 24 hours is apparently not enough time but the trouble is most plumbing fixtures have a trap. It is a bend in the drain the keeps a constant amount of water in it to prevent sewer gases from coming back into your home. It’s easiest to see on a kitchen sink or lavatory. But there is one internally on your toilet (made out of porcelain, not susceptible to damage from Draino) and one on your tub and shower which if on the second floor is hidden. When you use Draino, especially for a physical blockage that Draino won’t really be able to clear you are trapping Draino in that pipe. It doesn’t seem so bad based on your test however a lot of trap assemblies are made out of less than schedule 40 PVC like you used and are much thinner and much more susceptible to damage in the short term from Draino, and prolonged use, say constantly flushing it down the tub and shower drain to eat away those hair blockages can lead to corroded pipes, which are hidden in your walls, which you’ll be paying a pretty penny to fix. Moral of the story, once in awhile it’s ok, always run the water for a good while once the blockage is cleared. A drain that is repeatedly getting clogged, call a plumber.
Can drain - O dissolve flex glue, that's what we really want
Bro that 'ow' at 1:10 was perfectly timed with my phones low battery notification.
Just from an engineering standpoint: for most adhesive compounds that civilians use, the tensile strength (pulling along the axle of what has been glued) will be a lot stronger than the various other strengths. Great video
Another great video tyler keep up the amazing work
Yaaasss the bearded king
Looked like a brand new table too. Chuckle chuckle, good entertainment.
Spyderco tenacious?? Nice choice 👌
I was a plumber for a year and 4 months... pvc is a great material... in canada (quebec) we use grey pvc fot comercial/public/industrial use in draining systems... but for residential/private piping, we use black abs tubes or iron tubes with rubber collars... both react with highly concentrated drano... abs react with the heat created when drano comes in to contact with "sewer grey smosh" by weakening and partialy melt over severial uses...
When’s the new content coming out? You haven’t posted since last year...

A chemical that you pour down a clogged drain to clear it.
Hi Tyler, first off, thanks for putting in the time to come up with this experiment. I have a clog in my central AC system and was trying to see if drano was safe to use. Apparently it is!

Invest in more weights my dude.I bet craigslist would have some good deals.
Somehow, I ended up on your channel. And two things I learned. 1) you're authentic and passionate. 2) There's just enough Daytona 500 element to it. Meaning something could go horribly wrong with the setup, etc. I imagined the PVC snapping back on this video. And on your FlexSeal tape video, you drilled very close to your arm. :) But in the end, I keep watching because it's entertaining and educational on things that I never thought would be entertaining nor educational! Keep up the good work!
I have a feeling this video is going to get a good amount of views.
keep these vids up man. ur vids r a nice change from the average TH-cam vid.

It never crossed my mind that this could be an issue, but now that I know it could be I *have* to watch
Put the pvc in ACETONE next time.
that won't do much the outside will will soften but thats all that will happen.
Honestly loving these Vids! Different then what I normally watch but honestly enjoy them! Thanks TylerTube! Also you should consider some sort of safety glasses and possibly gloves. Take care of yourself!

mix 1/4 cup castor oil with a few drops of rosemary essential oil. rub on your face to help thicken it. while you grow it.
My hubs figured it out when he took my jar for my hair and used it to condition his beard.
TylerTube I will give it a shot 😂😂
Minor nitpick/safety advice here. When you pull on a rope connected to a winch or pulley, always use an overhand grip, (IE pinkies towards the block). Mechanically, this gives you a much better grip, and in the event that your hand gets sucked into the block, It hits the outer edge of your hand instead of catching your thumbs. Even if you do lose a finger, you'd rather lose a pinkie than a thumb or index

Tryna figure out what I like more: your content or those sweet, sweet royalty-free beats 😁
Did anyone hear the “ow” at 1:10 😂
I know this was 4 years ago, but, I just can't help myself. You realize Drano is in a 'plastic' container,.... What do you suppose that 'plastic' container is made of?..... Yup, you guessed it, PVC. That's why it held so much weight, ....
Also, you need water to activate the Drano, it's called a chemical reaction, which will generate heat, aaannnnnd,a lot of it, try it with good ol' h2o, leave it for 24 hours, organic matter helps too, I bet you'll get a completely different result.

You have the best way of editing the timelapses to where I feel like I can watch you do anything and not get bored lmao
As a plumber I feel it could possibly make a difference if you used actual foam core or dwv (drain waste and vent) rated pipes they’re not rated for pressure like the fittings and pipe you used and are noticeable lighter and easier to cut than schedule 40 pvc. I really like the videos though man keep making good content! Dwv is also a lot cheaper than 40
I know I am a little late to the party sorry, this is going to be a long one. There are a few issues with this test but I respect what you are trying to do.
Firstly the fittings that you used in the test are PVC fittings only used for water supply lines out doors. They are what we call pressure fittings and have deeper sockets to glue the pipe into. You can tell the difference be the socket depth and over all fitting shape as the drainage fittings do not have sharp corners or edges to allow water to flow more smoothly.
I could not tell for sure what pipe you are using, but it is also important to note that there are two types of PVC pipe as well. One is made for pressure and the other waste lines. The walls of "drain, waste, and vent" pipe or "DWV" are not solid plastic. They are a sort of sandwich with a thin plastic lining on the outer and inner faces and a hard foam material in the center. This is called foam core and it is the most prevalent type of pipe used in drain lines. it is much less rigid than the solid walled Schedule 40 used for pressure.
You used the right glue and primer combo (RIP your garage floor and table) however when gluing joints together always but both primer and glue on both the socket or "female" connection on the fitting, and on the section of pipe that will go into it. This will make your joints easier to put together and much stronger when dry.
The last point is that you are probably not in any danger of your PVC being eaten away by Draino. I think people who say this are really talking about the "tubular" piping found on the P-traps and fittings under sinks. This pipe has a much much thinner wall and the connections are sealed with rings made from different types of material. These I could see being a weak point that may be negatively impacted.
The real problem that I run into out in the field is that when a pipe has a major blockage that is not in the pipes directly under the sink or toilet but deeper in the main line. They will dump Draino on top of the water hoping it goes down. The issue is that there is probably at least 10' of water between the stoppage and where you are putting the product. I have never seen Draino clear a problem in the main line but it does sit in the water making my job more difficult and dangerous when I have to put a metal cable into it and it comes out on my equipment and gloves/clothes. As a plumber the only time we use acid is to eat away calcium deposits in urinals, everything else can be cleared mechanically.
Sorry for the long response that is long past its prime.
TL:DR Don't use Draino, it is a waste of money.
These videos are literally so entertaining and interesting
