How To Repair PVC: Slip and Compression Couplings By: Everything Home TV 

Celebrating 9 years of people making the same complaint comments about not using primer (not required with the red hot blue glue) and not securing the wood blocks down to better simulate the pipes being buried 🎉🎉🎉 hahaha oh man. Replying to the same comments over and over is always fun! Great helpful video thanks!

Really nice, clean setup out of the ground, loved that, wish you had screwed the 2X4 down to the bench to act like ground holding pipe in place,

My first slip coupling and it took only ten minutes after watching these instructions, including cleaning the pipe's outside, sawing it apart, and all. I thank you, and so do the horses who now have water in their barn again.

screw them 2x4's down to make a more realistic situation

This is a really good video, and helped me fix my broken pipe. It really helped me how to install the double coupling. Really really helped!

Your video made my installation go great….Thank you

Yes, those are more convenient repairs, but those rubber seals will break down over time and leak unlike solid PVC lines glued in. 🤔

I have tried both of them on my main water lines. Due to our high water pressure and cold winters, both of the failed and shot water high in the air one or two years later. They are fine for distribution lines, but not on the main line. The easiest and best fix is to file out the stop on a coupling and slide it over one pipe and then back over the second. I would recommend you cover this technique as it is cheap and takes the water pressure.

❤ Great ! thank you for sharing. Hope to accompany you in the future🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very useful tips. Didn't hear you mention something the guy at the store told me and that's that the slip coupling has an "in" end and and an "out" because of the slip mechanism.Be sure to read the directions on the product and check the direction of the water flow before installing. (And as the link in the show notes says Christy's is an all in one primer/glue)

This is great idea and thank you.

sem your video I learned a lot of things? thank you my friend

Perfecto! Thanks. Have this sane issue. Wow..easy fix. SCHERTZ, TX

Securing those pipes to the blocks of easily moveable wood was pointless. You should have screwed or hot glued them to the table if you really wanted to simulate a pipe you can't move. Other than that, good example of how to install these (Except for not using primer on the pipes).

How tight should I thread these things? I’m assuming just hand tight should do?

👏👏👏👏nice good job sr 5 stars ⭐️

To make it more realistic of the board should have been screwed into the table itself to simulate the fixed width of the pipe to show exactly how much clearance and technique needed to actually get the pipes fitted. Sorry but this is just a 5/10 forme

Thank you.

Now I know ! Tyvm !

Great video and easy way to fix PVC pipes. Tried the ways without success. However, shouldn't primer be used with the glue when joining the pipe? To be sure, I bought primer.

Thanks❤

you can dry fix everything before you glue just to make sure everything fits

Does it come in a T connection ?

I am trying to find out what has been used in my apartment. Its pvc pipe and on the ends it is a thin metal band. There is no connector. Do u have any idea?

File down the inside of the coupling stops and then you can slide them in place.

👍⚾️

Why no primer? Also, you can’t move the pipes inground the way you are on a table so it would more difficult to get some of these items in place.

Nice 👍🏼

mark out the section with a sharpie pen then cut the pipe, I do that

I do 4 90's. I don't trust gaskets in the ground

wheres your primer? definitely need to use the purple primer...

It would work better and simulate the actual experience if you had fixed the pipe mounts in the board you had them on instead of moving the two pipes around

Primer, please!

You didn't use the slip couple the way it's designed for lol, you suppose to use it to slide on the pipe bc ypu can't spread the lines apart for the make in

The first repair is GARBAGE! The slightest pressure and it will blow apart. The extendocock works good. I've had good luck with those.

Would be more helpful if you constrained the position of the existing pipe to demonstrate the real problem. Moving the existing pipes is not a valid demo.

You applied glue without the primer first,Therefore what you are teaching in this video is a waste of time.so wrong.

When slipping the Slip Repair Coupling on, I glue and slip the coupling side first, then the threaded side because the bulk the threaded side gives you more to grip onto. The other way in reality is insanely frustrating when your down in a tight spot in the hole and can barely get a grip on it or have to use a wrench to grip it. Just slip them on, threaded bulky side last. Trust me. It's a LOT easier.

extremely helpful for a tough repair I had

Thank you for making this video I'm having one hell of a time under my house with this s***

Thanks for the guide!

I want to fix a main water line about a 18 inches before reaches the apartment. The compression held out for about 10 years but now want to put a slip coupling. Your thoughts on this?

good demonstration

Thank you. Bought our house a year ago. Front irrigation system doesn't work. One of the lines is broken and the previous owners tried to use duct tape to fix. This will be helpful for trouble shooting.

There are cheaper ways of doing this but this will definitely work.

May I know how to determine the size of the compression coupling? Thanks!

Excelent video. Thanks a million.

compression coupling has no stop right?

Great video. Always add primer before adding glue

thank you very much for the info!

Are these directional? Is it marked with an arrow (flow of water)?

Does that "Blue Glue" eliminate the need for PVC primer then PVC glue?

you said you were going to mark the pipe at the cutting point but didnt

How's the slip coupling for return pool lines with a leak?

I have a project can I email you a plan for an approval or if any changed need to be made?

I've tried repairing my busted pipe 3 times and as soon as water is turned back on, it flies out of the ground again :( I'm using primer and glue, repair is at joint. 😩

I would never reccommend a conpression coupling on pvc
