How to Repair PVC: The Slip Fix Fitting

Greg Chick, Ramona's Plumber shows how to repair a PVC pipe where this is limited space pipe movement using a slip fix fitting.

The slip fix produces a strong joint that can handle high pressure. But because it is a solvent joint in PVC, the pipe must be dry and requires some cure time.

Thanks so much for this video! I've never done anything with PVC pipe and the freeze last night bust one of our spigot's outside. I was able to fix it myself and you saved me a ton of $. Thanks! :o)

Thanks for this video! My water line (from the ground up into my mobile) froze and cracked. Every video I came across had some guy joining two pieces of loose PVC pipe. Well yea.. This is what I was looking for, repairing a broken pipe that is fixed in place.

For 3/4 pipe Part Muller KBI QF-0750 Upc 011651237509

One that looks like this one but is a screw together two piece, on one end, it screws on, which has an additional o-ring don't use that one after a while it will leak at the screw on end at the o-ring.

@bricktoes No, dig out the mud 4" below the pipe and use a shop vac to remove extra mud and use a sheet of cardboard to sit/lay on and not have any problems! Oh, did I say to wipe your hands off first?. Dont get me wrong, I have done 2" pipe 2' deep and while laying in the mud....That is how I know to drain out water and dig a lower sump near by to relieve the debris/water etc.. Greg
