  2. Great tips probably the best tips I have seen as far as the trades go

  3. Guilty As Charged… done the pipe on fire to Expand pipe to slip to other pipe.

  4. My water hose is stuck on spray nozzel and the calcium buildup is so bad it wont break free by using two wrenches, any suggestions? I was curious, is there a air compressor tool/machine that can hold one end and turn the nozzel?

  5. Option 1 = Fumes, thats terrible, what's the next option?
    Option 2 = $70!!!! Fumes not so bad.

  6. FYSA On tight spaces, such as between two studs, use a right angle drill or right angle drill adapter. Too easy.
    Also instead of heating and ruining your hole saw bits, find scrap pieces of metal pipe to do the heat removal process. Also a heat gun will work as well.

  7. "What if it's between the studs?" How about you spend $5 and just cut the pipe and make a connection to clean pipe on both ends.

  8. It's going to leak
    Don't be stupid get a Mexican to do the hard demo then you can fix it most proper

  9. Probably not a good idea to drink beer and set a PVC pipe on fire on the job in a customer's house. 9:28?

  10. What about removing a primered & cemented/ glued 2" sch40 slip coupling from a pool diverter valve. Such as Jandy, CMP, Hayward, etc 2 or 3 way diverter valve. I have battled this POS of a cmp 2 way diverter valve with a 2" coupling with a 2" to 1.5" bushing, and about 3 inches of 1.5" sch40 pvc pipe sticking out of that. I've tried all methods except cutting and the socket saver or ream tool. I have to either remove all or cut it down to the nipple on the Jandy Valve, excuse me… the diverter valve. I wish someone would make a tool that would go over the fitting and rapidly shave or sand it down for removal. Instead I have been removing my hair by the handful.
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks for the informative video.

  11. This saved me! Instead of a hole saw blade, I used an old socket. (A 9/16” socket fit inside a 3/4” schedule 40 PVC pipe!

  12. For the last method, where you remove it with the saw…why are you waiting so long between cuts? Your first cut is at 12, and your next is at 3? Why do you need to wait so long?

  13. Or just buy an 'inside connector' that is made for the size PVC you are working with.
    In most cases the size reduction is not enough effect the required flow.

  14. Sometimes you can just leave the existing pipe end as it is, and glue a new short length of a different size pipe or coupling inside the existing pipe end. If the new pipe or coupling is a little too large to fit into the the existing pipe end, you use can use a propane torch to first soften the new pipe/fitting.
    Conversely, sometimes you can use a new pipe/fitting piece to go on to the outside of the existing pipe end, again using a propane torch to soften the new pipe/fitting piece so it will fit. (If the new pipe/fitting piece is a little too large, you can use 2 or 3 hose clamps to tighten it onto the existing pipe end.)
    The above won't pass any kind of inspection, but on your own farm etc., so what?
