Home Improvement & Repair on Video : How to Repair PVC Pipe

Agreed, that isn't a repair coupling he is working with. You can do what he is doing only if you happen to be able to move your pipe enough..frequently this isn't the case

In most cases you are going to need a repair coupling. Google 'repair coupling' to see what this is.

Also, if you need advice don't go to Home Depot or Lowe's expecting much help. Find an actual plumbing supply store..they'll actually know what they're talking about..

CitadelRunner is right on the money. This tutorial is completely useless! How about providing a tutorial on how to actually repair a break in a PVC pipe, not just how to put a slip coupler on one end of a pipe.

Its funny. All these how to repair pvc videos assume that you are repairing "PVC THAT HAS NOTHING ATTACHED AT EITHER END"!!!!!

Do you guys realize that both ends of your pvc pipe are fixed and attached to something else? You cant just move it all around.

Nice quick explanation but there was no mention of how to get the replacement pipe and couplers in place, in the ground, on BOTH ends. Because when you slide one end on, the opposite end, if the length is correct, isn't going to clear the existing piece in order to slide that on. Make sense?
