Attaching a Water Supply Valve to Plastic CPVC Pipe 

Finally a video describing what to do if water supply pipe is too short after trimming for new valve. Very clear instructions and video. 5 stars.

I bought the same brand glue and primer, somehow already had the exact fitting you showed. I was faced by the very same problem needing to extend the stubbed out cpvc pipe. Your explanation was brilliant, complete and crystal clear. I am delighted with my results and my wife thinks I am a genius. Truth be told, you are the genius!! Thank you David Winston Salem, NC

How many videos did I have to watch before finding yours, which was just the ticket. Awesome job & fit my job PERFECTLY. Thank you!

Jane, I can’t count how many times I’ve learned something from you. You’re the best.

Ran across your video while searching for a repair job. Thought I knew how to do it, but checked. Saw some of the comments, but some that gave different opinions, maybe haven't done an actual repair job. Jane you did it perfectly correct, did a great explanation, reasoning in the complete job. Perfectly done, for anyone to do! I've done it before, the same way on an outside faucet that broke. Thank you for taking the time and material, to make a video. God bless!

Excellent instructions. I sat for a year staring at the "rough in" that I had for a laundry tub and knew there was a missing part and you've shown me what it was- slip on adapter. Since this was a new home I thought that they would have made it easier to add the tub by having the metal connector already attached to the water lines.

I love your channel. When i need to know something i come here. Thanks for the knowledge.

Love your videos. Clear instructions. Very helpful and informative. Thanks much.

This video helped me avert a disaster in my upstairs bathroom and a call to the plumber. Kudos!

Very well explained Jane! Thank you

Your videos are remarkable in their clarity and simplicity

I love this Damn woman. She makes everything so simple👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

hands down the most down to earth, awesome instructional language and displays ive seen out of a house labor video ive ever seen.

Thank you for explaining everything in detail. You are a blessing !

Great instructions. I like the way you took it slow and clear -- exactly what I needed to learn.

You do an absolutely wonderful job showing and explaining how to do this job. You were so thorough and precise on each phase of the demonstration. Thank u so much.

Another excellent video. Addresses many problems which one can run into.

Thank you for the show-how firstly, secondly, I didn't use a clean cutter and also i didnt do 2x cement coats nor did I let the primer dry, I had two blow outs today , im so stressed but thankfully my customer is very patient and willing to wait for me, I am doing a full restore from harvey here in southeast houston I can't memtion enough how stressed i am. This video gives me more confidence to try again tomorrow, my client will have no water tonight because I should've seen this before I started :-/

Great video, really helped. You're an expert.

Excellent, specific, real world problem solving. Thank you! I just ran into this cpvc to metal issue.

This is exactly what I needed for my project! Thanks for being the most helpful video that I found!

Great stuff! Thank you, Jane!

Thank you so much! I installed a new sink last night only to discover I could not connect the water line because I have CPVC as the supply and the sizes are not the same. Now I know I can convert to standard supply size! This is so very helpful.

Yes I dnt even leave comments but your surley deserve it. Your video was very clear, thorough and explained all necessary things and tools needed to get the job done. I almost called The Plumber before I watched the video. Thank you.

BEST VIDEO IVE FOUND SO FAR!! I’m commenting before I’ve done the work but my local Home Depot only had like 2 couplers left haha so I think it’s a good sign😂

awesome vid. all ur vids are easy to understand and very helpful. thnx a lot!

Your video is great. I went with a push vale and great worked. Still great video

Thanks Jane! Wonderful explanation and very easy way to do!

very good and I appreciate showing all the options... nothing ever goes simple when working with plumbing so it is good to be prepared ..

you are my ALL-TIME favorite RU-vidr! Where have you been all my life?!? Thank you for this video - and all your others, for that matter!

Thanks Jane! You have given me enough info for me to attempt a repair myself!

exactly the video I was looking for! Cheers!

Great video. Thank you.

Thank you, SeeJaneDrill! Very good explication.

Thank you Jane ! Straight forward, easy to follow video !

That was the most useful video I have seen. Thank you.

THANK YOU LEAH! Your so gentle with dummies like me

Extremely helpful video. Thanks so much!

Outstanding video!!! Your awesome!! TY

after searching RU-vid for a bit I found your video and it was exactly what I had to to for my tankless water heater. The plumber made the line flush with the wall. I like the threaded end idea so that can never happen again. I was going to add drain lines also because of the hard water here in Florida.

Great video. Thanks so much!

Very informative, thank you.

Thanks for this video Bro!I just learned something new, Good job!!!

Thanks for the video!

See Jane Drill, I love you!!! I've been stressing over how repair leaky PVC pipe under bathroom sink. I didnt know what to do if pipe turned out too short after I cut it...So, I worried a lot & did nothing about it for weeks! Alas , my hero Jane appears in my you tube search nailing my problem w your classic clearly explained step by step instructs. BLESS YOU!

You saved me alot of money. Thank you so much. This is a wonderful video. ❤

You are an Angel sent from above. Thank you!!

Thanks was very helpful. Going to install and outdoor pipe and needed a quick recap to make sure I didn't leave anything out. Gracias

Thank you thank you thank you, you explained that so perfectly for me. I have pvc pipe and pvc shut off but the valve is dripping, it's old. Also I subscribed

Excelente! Excelente! Very helpful!!! Thanks!

THANK YOU OUR PIPE CAME UNDONE YOUR A LIFE SAVER!!!

i am happy to find your video today , i have a leaking valve in the bath under the sink and there, is no way that they twist off and after seeing your detailed video tonight ,thank you

And i love the videos your teaching good stuff .

Great video! Easy to understand and it explanations and answers a lot of questions I had. I am replacing a.few shut off valves under the sinks and my biggest fear is ending up with not enough cpvc pipe coming from the wall. Also when I do the shut-off valve change I will definitely use the method you used with the adapter. That way, in the future, I won't have to worry about cutting the pipe.

I love the slip on adapters. The pipe coming out of the wall would become shorter every time I installed a new slip on cut off valve. With this adapter, I can just unscrew the faulty valve and screw on a new one/ Thanks. You ROCK>

Nice! Thank you! This is just what I was looking for!

Good video thank you

such a big I'm trying going into plumbing been a while so this a big help

Thanx nothing frustrates me more than starting something then needing something in the middle $10 dollar project fantastic this just broke off yesterday

Thank you!

wow. you are amazing. ❤

Good Job Jane!

Wish I would have watched this $55 ago. Now back to the store.

thanks for sharing this video, coz I got a project, an outside restroom and im trying to use pvc for the water supply, I'm thinking what should I use to connect the toilet tank to the water supply, so here you are, showing in your video, again thank you so much

Thank you.

Hi Jane. Your videos are excellent. I have a shorted CPVC pipe coming from my vanity and need to do this exact same replacement. What are the part names or numbers for the valve and the glue type connection to the valve?

You're awesome!

Świetnie wyjaśnione! Bardzo dziękuję z Polski! 🙂😇🤩🤩

Them sharkbites are great on cpvc transitions

Thank u so much trying to do it myself great explain

Nice Job Leah! :)

Other than there being *way* too much glue on that pipe when you attached your fittings, I would say this was a great vid.

hi Leah great job... as usual.. it might be helpful to folks to explain the uses of cpvc versus pvc pipe. when taping a joint with teflon which way to wrap the tape..... again great job Leah

I love your channel! I'm a DIY girl and try to tackle most projects myself. I'm in the process of replacing my bathroom faucet but the nut from the supply line tube is stuck where the faucet connects. Any tips on removing a stuck/corroded nut?

thank you

I like cpvc and use a pipe cutter usually used on copper. Fastening the coupling to pipe, I am no plumber but the directions suggest applying the cement as to not create a pudding(not liberal) on the pieces to be fastened together. I thought the primer was really a cleaner. Just needs to be clean of ink, debry, chemicals, oil, dirt and water. Other wise just use the cement lightly and the joint goes together fast and tight and sealed. Thanks good vid.

Question about "the twist". Do you twist as you push the coupling onto the pipe, or after you've held it for 30 seconds?

Does this work for Polybutylene too?

Thank for this tutorial! Wonderfully helpful!

How come there are no videos showing how to use female and male adapters PVC to metal pipe elbows? Awesome video. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your videos... I am flipping a house and I am tired of everyone thinking I am a cash cow.

What is the usual size of water supply line coming from the wall? Can u use smaller or bigger water supply lines? Thanks for the video.

What about the glue build up inside the coupling ? Would you say it's safe ? Consumable water?

Does anyone know the name of that slip-on male adapter? I can't seem to find it on my hardware store website. They have a similar one that has the male thread made out of pvc

Is it an easier practice to screw shut off valve to adapter first , then attaching shut off valve with adapter to cpvc pipe? Great video! Thanks

Hello and thanks for sharing this educational video. I have a question, I am currently living in a different country, and I've noticed that the primer is never used here just the cement. I have also noticed that plumbers here use sand paper on the pipe and joints before applying cemment. Do you know if this causes a weaker bond? or does it make a better bond?

I wish I had 4 hands so I could give you 4 thumbs up!!!!

awesome handy person.

Wow, amazing video. What do you suggest for old huge plastic pipes under my sink, I want to add valve to it in order to connect washer. Any idea? Is there any per-made plastic pipe connector with valve build into it, out there?

It’ll be great if the threads match with the attachment and the valve.

What a timely video! I am in the process of debating whether doing a whole house repipe with pex B piping due to the chemical leaching/chlorine reactivity with some of the pex A pipes. But I was hesitant of the longevity of slip on couplings used for transitioning. Saw another youtube video showing fails of cinch clamping methods around the 10 year mark in many homes in his area, so now I am considering the good old cpvc as my pipe of choice. Leah, is there anyway you can show how to glue together the connections made at the entrance where the water main comes together to meet a ball valve shutoff valve for the whole house, that meets a tee with one side for the garden spigot and the other to go into the house as the inlet supply?(without any soldering, of course) If you can, that would really boost my confidence as I get ready to tackle on this project. Also, can one use cpvc pipes to make a diy manifold for both the hot and cold water supply like with a pex system so I can put a shutoff valve on each main pipe at the manifold and can test each individual pipe's water pressure as well as turning off water supply ( to certain areas of the house where pipe won't be insulated in the attic) on the really cold nights without having to go outside to turn off water main fearing bursting frozen pipes? Thanks a lot for your videos.

I have been searching all over for a video like this. Just change a toilet that has cpvc and the old line is to short for the new toilet. My only issue is that they placed some kind of metal ring where the pvc meets the compressor and I don't know how to remove this metal ring. So the toilet is unusable. Can anyone help?

I love her!

How come my 1/2 inch threaded valve won't thread all the way around the 1/2 cpvc adapter? I could only get 4 turns even with a wrench...I added tape and pipe sealant and it still leaked. Ended up buying a valve that can be glued to the cpvc pipe.

So, no one addressed yhe question of" did uou put pipe thread tape to the threads on the previously assembled metal/adapter?

Can I use shark bite press fit on the cpvc

Thanks for another very helpful video. I tried to use an extension hose with the wrong type of threads (I didn't know that at first) so I wouldn't need an angle stop (I installed a valve along the pipe), but I will take your advice here. Do you know, if the end of the (plastic) sink shank is stripped or threaded wrong, will using the pipe cutter to cut off a little of the end fix that, or will that screw it up worse?

Thank you

What if still dripping water ? Does it need to be dry before glueing ?

They make cpvc thats threaded and its a lot cheaper that the combination brass/cpvc, will that work on screwing into a brass shower valve or do you have to have brass to brass? and do I need teflon tape?
