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.

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.

Around here they pressure test the DWV by filling the lines until it
flows out the roof vent. Any weak link in the chain...

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.

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.

Check out Wheeler/Rex. I just bought a 2" from them that saved me a big
re-pipe on a commercial pool job.

I should have specified the situation. It's an electrical PCV pipe.
It comes out of the ground to a plastic outdoor box. Then more pipe
extends up the pole to another fixture. It snapped off on the top of
the box. Yes, I could rip the whole thing out, but with the ground
being frozen and the pipe right against the pole, I could risk
breaking the pipe at ground level and only make matters worse. Cold
pvc is real stiff and thats probably why it snapped off. Anyhow,
there is no water pressure, I just need to cleanout the busted stub
and glue in a new piece of pipe. If the hole is sloppy, a little
epoxy will fill the gap and prevent any rain from getting in.

I have never heard of a tool for electrical pvc pipe, but have for
plumbing. The pipe itself is pretty much the same thing.

I know one thing, I will not use those pvc boxes again. From now on I
will use the old metal ones and just glue threaded ends on the PVC
pipe. At least there is something that can be unscrewed.

I am considering using a dreml tool with a small grinder, but would
still like to find out what those tools are called.

Yes, I have seen those, but they are for threaded pvc pipes. To
remove the threaded in stub.

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

Thank You

Wouldn't it be easier to just cut the whole side-wall off
another box and glue it on the existing box after chopping
out the screwed up nipple?

I've had no trouble doing it with a heat gun, screwdriver and a pair of
long nose pliers. Lots of youtube videos to see it in.

melty pvc, out.
