    Awesome I got this issue now caused by my plumber told him to be careful with the pipe but he still damage the pipe for lavatory omg. I will tell him tomorrow to fix it exactly thesame as you do.

    thats why code requires nailing plates, to prevent nails or screws from damaging pipes.

    That's crazy it took so long to show signs of leaks. I recently was installing recessed lighting and used a 6" hole saw in my ceiling. As I went into the ceiling, I saw water pouring into my drywall dust bowl, and I sort of sat there dumbfounded how could there possibly water in my top floor attic. Turns out it was a plumbing vent that wasn't sloped properly, and the contents of that pipe (rain water) emptied onto my bathroom floor. Strangely enough, when I went to Home Depot for black ABS pipe, the guy there told me they never carried it, due to some law in Cuyahoga County. I had to go to the Home Depot in Brunswick to get ABS pipe and a coupling. In your case with your PVC, you could have gotten a repair coupling that slides completely back and forth over sections of pipe instead of using a rubber repair coupling. At least your repair is in a fairly inconspicuous spot, that if you ever needed to access again, wouldn't be hard to do.

      I had no idea HD's in different counties had restrictions!

    don't like how that PVC is resting on that stud though, maybe put some small rubber padding in between

      Here is the cutter: amzn.to/3EAqAd3 All the other parts were found at my local hardware store and should also be at Home Depot.

    It’d be so funny if while putting your cover on you drilled a screw into the same pipe

    I would cut the pipe to flush with the rubber coupling??

      No, there needs to be some pipe within the coupling for the clamps to tighten on.

    If I used that cutter on my 23 year old house with cpvc, it will break and crack immediately instead of getting a clean cut. Any suggestions?

      Because it's such a tight space and you probably don't want to remove any more drywall than needed, what about one of those oscillating tools? I've never used one on PVC, but they will cut through wood. Any kind of saw is out because of the lack of room between the pipe and out side wall.
