I have a PVC pipe and it broke loose at the one connection. WITHOUT having to cut off the sections and replace

Question

the actual pipe what can I do? Are there any materials that will bond them together and keep the water inside the pipe (waterproof)?

Answer 1

If the pipe just broke loose that is a easy fix. That just requires ruffing(sanding) the end that broke loose, adding primer, and gluing it back into place. Allow a minimum 30 minute dry time before testing. Now if the PVC is cracked or broken, you can either cut it back past the damaged area, and try reconnecting, but depending on the application, PVC is sometimes under great pressure which i would suggest doing it right and replacing the bad piece.

Answer 2

If the pipe came loose at one of the socket connections and there isn't any unions in the line by the break, it could be difficult to reconnect the pipe into the socket connection without adding a union to the pipe. This is because the additional length needed to seat the pipe in the socket makes it hard to work with the pipe. You might have a fairly long run of pipe with enough bend in the pipe to allow you to put the two pieces back together.
If the fit is still pretty tight, you can clean the end of the pipe, inside the socket, and then glue them back together with a good PVC cement. Allow it to set for 30 minutes before you put water back on the line.

Answer 3

Use sand paper to smooth the pipe and the seat. Dry fit to see if you can get it back together....Don't sand too much only take off the glue. Buy a small can of PVC cleaner and small can of PVC cement. Swab the cleaner on both parts, it not only cleans but preps the plastic for gluing. Now swab both parts with the PVC glue...you only have about 5-10 seconds once you touch the parts together so be ready to get them seated.

Answer 4

no count if it relatively is a waste line and not a grant line, you ought to apply what i've got consistently be attentive to as a fernco coupling. those are those rubber couplings with the screw clamps on the two end. you may then pass away the percentcontained in the forged iron and fix a sparkling piece of %. i've got additionally seen percentgot rid of with a dremmel attachment to grind the percentfaraway from the forged iron. the 1st determination this is greater undemanding and you will no longer threat breaking your forged iron pipe that's brittle. regardless of the incontrovertible fact that that coupling is to no longer be used decrease than tension, so no count if it relatively is a grant line you may no longer use it. sturdy luck with it.

Answer 5

PVC is so inexpensive; why not cut; then use Connectors/Collars/Sleeves; at both ends with a short section of PVC the proper diameter between.

Answer 6

You can try re-glueing it with that stuff they use for welding them together when originally assembled. Ask at a hardware store or reno-depot or whatever big box store is nearby. Sounds like your pipe wasn't done well or maybe not at all.

Answer 7

Cut it off and replace it is just about all you can do.
