you coud have used 2 coupings and a 45 with that tee and some pipe and saved a slip fix

how do those pipe cutters work? ive never seen them around my area. we use just the standard little ones that you have to replace the blades on all the time.

but does that work better with the thicker pipe?

Pipe cutters are Wheeler 18Z ratcheting cutters. Very nice cutters for PVC pipe. They are more expensive than normal cutters, but well worth it. Blades can be replaced. They work great on Schedule 40 pipe.

haha, if i used a slipfix for every broken pipe ive had to repair....my boss would not be a happy person to say the least..

you do not have to use a 8 dollars slip fix on that case , use an elbow and a "street " elbow and a short piece of pipe. cheaper and faster, even better....
