The easiest thing I would’ve done is to cut pipe at the end where there was a 90 degree elbow where the pipe goes into the ground it would have eliminated all that work
I was literally coming here to say the same thing. Bet this guy spent a couple hours fixing this simple plumbing problem if he would have done it the correct way it would take 10 minutes at the most.
Whenever you add heat to something you alter its structure molecularly so therefore it's probable that is fittings were not properly installed in a leak may result
Why not bust open the tops of the other two pipes, so you could get repair couplings down in there? Actually you would only need to open the top of one more pipe. The first pipe would have plenty of room for a coupling if the others were moved out of the way.
Okay so what's the lesson in this? Well just for starters...if you leave just one of the pipes mobile this goes together easy. Second, if pipes are not mobile at all, you can use a PVC compression coupling or dig up one side left or right to bend that joint together. From a former irrigation installer.
Looks good but won’t last under pressure. Proper repair would be to use 3 threaded unions. The integrity of the pipe was ruined with the heat gun & bending of the pipe
Irrigation Engineer here... nope, that looks like drainage pipe and for drainage I try to never use T's but Y's... for SCH 40, is better to use threaded unions or slip couplings... good video for an emergency, but I would not recommend. And if you need to build a block/concrete box, leave room for future repairs (I always leave the fitting on one side of the box, that gives me space if I need to use couplings).
In a pinch I have done something like this to make a M-F pipe into a F-F, but do yourself a favour and use a tenon saw for cutting the PVC - it is much faster than a hacksaw and you get a straighter cut.
Won't meet code where I live and can be done very easily with slip connectors which are made for situations like this. I feel like you should include a warning that the way this was done will not meet code in some locations.
I'm not a plumber but this doesn't look like it is up to code in the U.S. If this is a supply it may not hold up to the pressure. If it's a drain then drain fittings should be used.

It seems it is a chamber arrangement with two inputs and one output.The output pipe should have been lower than the input level. 2)if it is one input and two output, the two output pipe s should be lower level than the one input pipe.
I guess if you don't have access to the right parts this would be ok, but not the correct choice. I am guessing India where all our safety training videos come from😆
Not the correct way to do this you're changing the molecular structure of the PVC pipe and in New England with the seasons the temperature variations due to weather
Making up 3 connections at one time? There ain't enough time, can't twist pipes into place as recommended. Bet there were dry joints, especially after heating up the glued joints to pretty up all those twists added to do this THE HARDEST WAY POSSIBLE. See, here in America, where PVC originated, we established what is called a set of BUILDING CODES AND Best Practices Standards. We created ASME and ANSI Standards, along with some pretty good testing procedures to control how those were created. But hey, the rest of the world just needs a hair dryer and some clear glue. You do you, dude. I'm guessing this is a water supply system, since the tee didn't have a sweep. And even though the pipe is grey, it for SURE isn't electrical conduit without a sweep on the tee.
Started the video with 3 sides cemented in. Until he had a problem with the final tie in, then the pipe was exposed on top. Kinda makes the video redundant.
Also not a good repair heating PVC changes the molecular structure here in New England with the seasons it doesn't hold up when the extremities of weather prevail shortening lifespan changing molecular structure don't know what else to tell you but you're doing it wrong do it right or don't do it at all or hire someone but I certainly wouldn't hire you
So heating the pipe makes it weaker no cleaner and well just buy 3 couplings and be done with it ppl damn!! Probably leaking before he posted this video
repair coupling is the right way. but I am impressed with these tradesmen who do so much with so little.
2 unions and 1 coupling will fix it correctly
That’s what I was thinking the entire video.
Doesn’t heat reduce its integrity?
The easiest thing I would’ve done is to cut pipe at the end where there was a 90 degree elbow where the pipe goes into the ground it would have eliminated all that work
I don’t like the heating. There is a better way.
I was literally coming here to say the same thing. Bet this guy spent a couple hours fixing this simple plumbing problem if he would have done it the correct way it would take 10 minutes at the most.
I agree with your comment....but...if in the bush....no stores around that are open...this....will....work.Btw......this is a nice exam question
Shouldnt heat it you should use a slip coupling or use a flat rasp to file down the stop inside a regular coupling.
Super heating to bend the pipe and then reheating will result in a shorter life span of the connections
No it won't. I have done this trick dozens of times. Last time was in the 80's and water pipe is still holding strong after almost 40 years.
@@olliechristopher467 good for you its still a hack job
I like this, heated to reshape before cement instead of buying coupling adapters. A small space to work, and other pipes already in place.
That was the best method to repair a horrible situation. Good job. Hope it’ll help me in the future
Imagine how much simpler it would have been if the Tee had fitted before someone put a handful of mortar around the pipes.
Excellent work I was watching the video and trying to help you get the last piece of pipe in
The fly was trying to tell you, "Dont do it this way," but flies are hard to comprehend.
Great work.... Like the way you straighten The pipe back
Whenever you add heat to something you alter its structure molecularly so therefore it's probable that is fittings were not properly installed in a leak may result
Agree
Try doing that with Schedule 40 pipe.. works well with drains, though! I like!
Why not bust open the tops of the other two pipes, so you could get repair couplings down in there? Actually you would only need to open the top of one more pipe. The first pipe would have plenty of room for a coupling if the others were moved out of the way.
Because they were too lazy to do it!
Lol

Tane ajo filozofi per ta riparu.Matje shmatje tundje gisht.Qesharake!
Repair coupling ended up being used since you see near the end of the video cement was removed to finish the repair on one of the lines.
@@exceleratorjoshua I noticed that too,
If I fixed stuff like this I would be without a job. This is criminal...
Looks good but won’t last under pressure. Proper repair would be to use 3 threaded unions. The integrity of the pipe was ruined with the heat gun & bending of the pipe
Maybe when putting the pipes in before you set them in concrete you put the tee in and there is no problem?
But will this work with thicker schd 40 3/4" PVC piping?
Irrigation Engineer here... nope, that looks like drainage pipe and for drainage I try to never use T's but Y's... for SCH 40, is better to use threaded unions or slip couplings... good video for an emergency, but I would not recommend.

Schedule 40 pipe in the USA is too thick for this trick
I was just thinking the same thing....schedule 40 and schedule 80.....I as in ME....have encountered difficulty in trying to manipulate pvc with heat
It's nice to know he is using a BLACK+DECKER Heat Gun, Corded, Dual Heat Settings up to 1000 Degrees, 1350 Watt (HG1300).
Dynamic balancing of armature not shown. Without balancing lot of noise and vibration and bushes quickly worn out.
Be sure to check back on the follow up video: Repairing Leaks You Caused Yourself
How did that pipe stay fixable that long ?
Sch 200
Should have cut the pipes to the correct length and fitted the tee piece before burying the pipe work, it would have been a lot quicker.
Easy, get 3 slip joints
Bro can you use pvc union joints its easy to install.
In a pinch I have done something like this to make a M-F pipe into a F-F, but do yourself a favour and use a tenon saw for cutting the PVC - it is much faster than a hacksaw and you get a straighter cut.
patel! that's some dope pvc cement right there
Sure is!
Just fittings that fit inside pvc pipes
🎉must be one side extension in straight line is longer to be an ajuster,
That's why no hub is so awesome plus it's quiet when some one flushed. No hub can be installed pulled apart and reinstalled no problem.
You forgot the cleaner/primer (the purple stuff). It makes sure the glue adheres to the plastic. Without it you could easily get leaks.
He doesn't have a clue. It won't work for long if it works at all
Won't meet code where I live and can be done very easily with slip connectors which are made for situations like this. I feel like you should include a warning that the way this was done will not meet code in some locations.
Good work...but probably took 12 hours to complete!
Where's the purple stuff..... Amateurs
we NEVER use thin wall under ground!
That’s why they manufacture compression Ts
You should not glue inside a joint will cause blockages
I'm not a plumber but this doesn't look like it is up to code in the U.S. If this is a supply it may not hold up to the pressure. If it's a drain then drain fittings should be used.
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the US.
He still had to chip out the one wall in witch would been Easter at the start
Like to see him do that was scheduled 40pipe
THAT'S WHY WE WILL NEVER SEE CHUCK SHUMER HAVE TO DO THIS ON THE VIEW...
Seria mais prático ter usado quatro curvas de 45 graus e colocado o t no cano do centro não iria precisar fazer embolso com fogo o barato sai mais caro mais pra frente precisar refazer o serviço novamente
Not the recommended way. This would never pass code.
Does his country have codes?
It seems it is a chamber arrangement with two inputs and one output.The output pipe should have been lower than the input level.
2)if it is one input and two output, the two output pipe s should be lower level than the one input pipe.
Maybe you could have made a slip socket also …?
You massively screwed up at 6:35, and then redid it off-camera! 🤣🤣🤣
I guess if you don't have access to the right parts this would be ok, but not the correct choice. I am guessing India where all our safety training videos come from😆
Absolutely do not use this method unless you want the pipe to fail.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Is this why plumbers get paid by the hour?

Don’t be jealous
U want the least amount of couplings as possible do ur 2 straight pipes then the 3rd this is not hatd
Very nice
Works great as clickbait, as plumbing, not so much.
Why they just won't use rubber no hubs
Very well done !!! 👏
So heating the pipe makes it weaker no cleaner and well just buy 3 couplings and be done with it ppl damn!! Probably leaking before he posted this video
I can’t believe I just watched that.
It was like watching a Greek tragedy wasn't it? I just had to see how it ended.
Or use 2 slip couplings
Fantastic
Thanks
Not exactly the best efficient way to get a Tee between there...
That's why they invented the "telescope coupling"!
1 union was all that was needed.
Excelente trabajo mi amigo
Rubber fernco couplings will fix it. Not affro engineering.
Pretty impressive
Install 3 socket end unions @ ends of the tee and each pipe, tighten them, and done in half the time spent doing everything you just showed 🤔
Chuck in 2x mac unions and youll be sweet as.
amazing ty
Thank you too!
Bhaiya hit air gan jo hai vah uski link bhej dijiye kahan se ham le
நன்றி
As soon as I saw this guy cutting pvc with a wobbling hacksaw instead of proper cutters I knew he didn’t know wtf he was doing.
Very nice idia
Ferncos are my friends
I'm pretty sure you should have kept this "secret trick" to yourself.
😮😮😮😮
There is a very simple method to do this, but this fellow has no ingenuity or the skill.Waste of our time
Brilliant
All you need is a combi
Great job
What a bodge !!!
E seu embolso ficou ao contrário.
Install it correctly in the first place......
How not to do it. They have slip couplings for this. 10x faster
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ever hear of a union?
Meh. I don't think so.
this is third world plumbing a total disaster
Pitiful…..u need a plumber
Good grief! 🙄
This is the typical non-union lack of knowledge way to do things.
This is wrong idea
