Worked perfectly! Used the rebar and a blowtorch twice to loosen it. It was in there crazy-tight but it worked! Thanks for the great tip!

Glad it helped! Yeah same as mine had to heat it up a couple times, but saved me so much more work! Appreciate the comment!

Fabulous! Worked like a charm, and saved several hundred dollars in plumbing costs (we live in the middle of Booneysville, MT!)

Thank you. This totally worked. The connector for my Pool Polaris pump broke off and I use this technique to get it out. Heated rebar and everything. Thank you.

I used a copper pipe and put it into the hole. I then heated the copper near where it went into the hole. Then I used a chisel that was just bigger than the interior diameter of the threaded pvc piece. I grabbed it with a crescent wrench and was able to twist the broken piece right out. Thx for the tutorial. I would never have gotten it out without ruining the whole house filter cap which would have been expensive to replace and would have had to have been ordered.

If you don't have a special tool you can drive a chisel that is slightly narrower than the stuck plastic pipe down into the opening. Once it is down a half inch or so get a pair of channel lock pliers and you can back it out of the line or sprinkler head. Works every time for me.

I'm about to tackle the job now, I don't have a tool or rod iron in my arsenal. So, I'll head out back now and let you know how it went with what I have available. Well, I got it out by using a round wire brush I had in my plumbing supply. It was 1/2"x 2" long with a handle. I forced it down in there turned and it came out. Of course, if it were really stuck this would not work, and your tips would be my next stop.

We had a piece of pvc break off in our water well, and we bought one of these from ace hardware, and after prying for a bit the hand of the tool broke. Thankfully we were able to still pry it with a monkey wrench though, and got the pvc out of the thread.

How can i do for a pipe of 2 inch?

@thebumpchannel 2 ай бұрын

Not sure, obviously a bigger extractor.

@Westmate Жыл бұрын

what about heating up the extractor?

@thebumpchannel Жыл бұрын

Worth a try. Don't burn your hand!

@PIMPSTA951 8 ай бұрын

I alctually heated up the extractor and worked perfectly fine i would've never got it out with just tapping the extracted in it kept slipping. With the extractor heated it burn right into the pvc and really grabs on

@benedicttambiga6994 4 ай бұрын

What if there's running water and you can't heat it up?

@thebumpchannel 4 ай бұрын

Shut off water, or just use the tool without heat, I guess

@benedicttambiga6994 4 ай бұрын

@@thebumpchannel the thing is we didn't know where to shut the water off and don't have the tools, so my uncle resorted to basic tools, chisel and a hammer, tho he did know how to shut off the water. He fixed it this morning. 😅
