Name of tool to remove broken pvc pipe in fitting
I understand there is a tool that "drills" out broken pieces of pvc
pipe from fittings. I was trying to search for one on the web, but I need a name for the tool. Otherwise I am finding nothing. Mark |

Name of tool to remove broken pvc pipe in fitting
I would just remove the fitting....replace it and go on. Ive never
heard of a tool that will accurately drill out pieces of old pvc pipe from a fitting....It would be expensive as it would have to be able to remove the pipe pieces without scaring the inside wall/mating surface of the fitting |

They make one for DWV, or at least they used to. I haven't seen one in
years. It makes a sloppy hole, but since DWV does not need to hold pressure, it works OK. It is used for removing pipe from a fitting encased in concrete. It takes a long time for the new joint to set up because of the sloppy fit. Never saw one for pressure pipe. Stretch |

Errr hacksaw?
I have seen tool (really a try a saw bit for a drill) I bought one off of ebay to make a pvc pipe recessed enough for a toilet flange. Its basically a little saw blade attached to a metal pipe and that goes into a drill. fire up the drill and your sawing happily into the pipe where no hacksaw can go. |

Otherwise I am finding nothing. I had a tool like that for repairing sprinkler systems. It was very much like an "Easy-Out" screw remover, but larger to fit the plastic pipes and with a longer, T-shaped handle. The sprinklers I was working on had 3/4 plastic pipe with a Tee adapter whereever you wanted a sprinkler head. The Tee adapter had 3/4 glue-on couplings on each side and a 1/2 screw connector on the side. You then screwed a 1/2 nipple into the screw connector. These nipples tended to get broken by lawn mowers, and the remover tool allowed them to be removed without damageing the tee. -- Rich Greenberg Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time.

Wow, I didn't know they made several varieties of these.
Now to figure out which work the best and are not too costly.

Lots of youtube videos to see it in. |

check youtube, heat a piece of metal, whole saw or whatever -really hot, insert ( make sure the metal fits snugly inside pvc before heating) HOLDING WITH VICE GRIPS insert the heated metal into the pvc wait around 30 sec, take a screw driver and poke at the inside piece to see if it is pliable, if so remove metal, if not leave in a while longer, IMMEDIATELY slide screwdriver between the two pieces of pvc and separate. grab edge with pliers and twist melty pvc, out. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ing-68619-.htm |
