Hey man ...we just had our main line break...watched this video and fixed it. Want to thank you for making this video. Without this knowledge we wouldn't have water. (Cannot afford a plumber at this point in time) So again thank you do much! I am from Texas too but live in Kansas now. Me and my husband are now subscribers to this channel. Again, Thank you

Does this work ... yes. As a certified Water Distribution Operator I will say this is a last resort. There should also be 2 clamps per connection side as stated. I would spend the extra money for a Ford fitting and stiffners aka inserts. Then , I would know I could sleep easy. Also this is a service line , not a main line. Great video on one way to fix a service line though !!

I thank you for this video. Went to Lowes and the plumber knew exactly what I needed. Also, had called a plumber due to the 17 degrees and had to work fast. Worked great and bulked up on the clamps and used 8 total. Thank you.

This is the correct way to repair this type of plastic pipe I’ve seen people use compression fittings and no steel inserts which wouldnt work on irrigation type plastic anyway of the videos I’ve been watching in regards to repairs of this type of pipe yours is the correct method

The advice I got was two hose clamps per side and make their orientations opposite. Thanks for sharing, wish I could find that fitting you have.

This video helped me repair my water leak from my water main on my side. I appreciate your help.

This is everything I needed to know! Thank you so much for this, you literally saved me from having to dig up and replace my entire waterline, which would have been hell to do considering the fact I would have to tunnel under a wall and handicap ramp and through hard stone.... Wow, thank you. Now I need a video on how to fix my bathroom floor and replace a bedroom wall and replace a window lol Seriously though...I do

Great video thank you! This is exactly all the info I was looking for. Everyone else talking about pex and compression. I already bought the brass barbed pieces and wanted to find somewhere that I got the right pieces. Thanks so much!

Double clamp each fitting with clamps tightening in opposite direction.

Outstanding. Great work!!!

I work in the waterworks industry and compression fittings are definitely better. Just make sure you use the inserts. Also if you use the barb fittings and want to make life easier put a female x female union so you dont need to stress the pipe to get it to fit together.

This is the first time i have ever seen a water line installed with a hose clamp . Iv'e only seen these done with pinch clamps or compression fittings . Im not saying it's wrong where you are it's just blasphemous where i am, you might trigger a boss fight when you call in an inspection LOL.

Just had major water leak yesterday put plastic pvc connector on with clamps Goin to lowes now to change it thanks for advice

Thank you Alot man and Great info...👍👍 This is the Best video and explaination.

This was very helpful. I want to run PEX pipe from my main line to a holding tank. Can I use PEX expander Tool and PEX from the main line to the tank?

Edit: ATTENTION EVERYONE! CHECK YOUR DISTRICT SPECS OF WHAT IS REQUIRED BEFORE LISTENING TO THIS GENIUS. IF PVC AND COMPRESSION FITTINGS ARE ALLOWED, USE THEM!!! Never in my life have I been told pvc won’t hold the pressure, for one simple reason, it does hold the pressure. Seems as though you don’t know the different between schedule 40ajd 80, which is probably what your water guy was saying. So ya, just FYI, this was no where close to the “right way” but you say it with such confidence. I’m sure some Idiot will beleive you. What the hell are you talking about dude? Do you have any experience in the trench laying pipe?Compression couplings are temporary? I’m not sure where you’re from or what kind of compression couplings you’ve been using, but there is nothing wrong with them. Of course silver solder, soldering, etc is slightly better, but compression fittings can EASILY LAST JUST JUST AS LONG. PVC pipes and the compression fittings can withstand pressure that would blow your fucking mind. Twice what you’re line is at. When I install pvc lines, I pressure test the line at 1.5-2 times the estimated pressure. Compression fittings work in exactly the same way that a rubber gasket pipe works. So yea, Im not sure who the fuck told you that bullshit. But it’s a hundred percent wrong. Many districts are moving away from pipes like ductile iron, cmlc (concrete lined steel pipe) and switching to pvc. So don’t go on KZfaq and try and help people fix things with such confidence when you have no clue what your talking about.

This is not the proper way to clamp a fitting. ALWAYS USE 2 CLAMPS PER SIDE. 1Clamp will start to slowly leak and continue to get worse.

Great video

Heat gun for auto mechanics work too if you don't have propane correct?

can you please post exact name for the brass barbed thing,can i use heat gun instead of torch, i wish there was video of how long to torch

Thanks for the video. You just saved me a lot of trouble.

God bless you

Good and I agree 💯

Yes hose clamps for "the right way" lol, and pvc does withstand pressure, you just have to make sure you buy sch 40 or 80, not foam core which is meant for dwv.

Sure? Section 605.3 of the NC Plumbing code lists the approved pipe material. These days, PVC, PEX, HDPE are the popular ones.. 1" PVC Sched 40 is rated to 450 PSI and Seche 80 up to 600 PSI

I already used plastic barbed fittings instead of brass. I was afraid the metal would corrode. Will the plastic hold up overtime?

No way Jose'. Buy a Ford or McDonald compression fitting.

I'm use the same installation perfec recomended

Only correct if it's allowed for your area. My water company doesn't allow barb fittings of any type at all. Compression only with inserts.

CTS TO MAIN WATER LINE SERVICE. CTS water service main

People dig up water lines for home inspection? I've never heard of that. I got a water under a tree leaking. I actually got to the leak and temporarily patched with JB water weld. I dug around the tree and got to go get new line. I'm gonna the torch method. Thanks.

I need to hook new pipes to old existing metal pipes coming out of meter and going into home... 40+ year old house on concrete slab... has metal pipes... I have a leak under some pine tree roots about 15 to 20 feet above meter and house is another 30 feet from there... plan on cutting near house and at close to meter go around the trees area and make to middle front to house half box shape.... about 100 feet total distance... was going to use pvc.... what's best pipe/hose for my job?

2 clamps needed and tighten opposite directions

every one I see trying to fix water lines or installing yard hydrants used the stainless steel band clamps junk throw them in the trash haven't you people ever heard of a t band clamp of course they are stainless but way better clamping power warm the pipe slide it onto the barb fitting and only snug the clamp then let fully cool and come back and tighten it bam works every time

Safer to use a cut of hot water to soften the plastic.

I used the grey plastic barbed fittings instead

Great video! Where did you buy the brass coupling from? I checked Home Depot and Lowes and they don't have any heavy duty brass couplings with a nut in the middle.

Where do you get the fittings and what are they called?

Where can I get the connector that you used,I've been to home Depot and Lowe's and I didn't get it.

I’m assuming you’re on well water?

Question please answer pex fitting are good for this repair ?

You're better off paying $10. a month for protection. My new water line cost me nothing, but only lasted 1 year.

we are dealing with a water leak right now was wondering what size pipe u r using and the size coupler u used ,,,our pipe is 3/4 inch

Why is the pipe so deep!!!

This may be better, more proper. My compression couple is temporarily working 25 years later 😉.

2" poly water main? I don't think so.

What caused the leak? 160 poly is not supposed to leak.

what materials of black pipe? and where to get it, thanks

You are there already why didn't you demonstrate it to us? Heat a few seconds then... good luck. Ugh! I still don't know cuz I'm dumb. Did you say it will be inspected? Here in Orlando, there is no such thing like inspecting. They let a plumbing company (with bad reviews) do all the repairing no matter what.

I have blue colored plastic line. Anyone know what it would be made out of?

Nobody inspects service lines if you sell the house

How expensive of a job is that?

You could just man up and push the pipe onto the barb, not that hard,

Is that type of hose clamp anything other than temporary? Once that rust out it won’t be holding anything anymore… And don’t act like stainless steel doesn’t rust stainless steel absolutely rust just not as fast as iron….

Do not use plastic. Use hdpe

Good detailed process but Horrible energy. Dislike for me

why so much unnecessary work...use Plasson's sliding coupler another time: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5akqNeCxK7Ggok.html

There's a dude here that days pvc will hold pressure!!! Lmao!!! If you say so! After a a few let is know how long before it broke all apart! Lololololol. Pcpv people!

Always recommended to have some nut showing

Do not forget... you should NOT use PVC. .. it is NOT meant to withstand the water pressure over time... and technically it is not meant to be buried 4 to 5 feet underground. ONLY USE CPVC... which is ONLY sold at specialty plumbing store... they sell it in rolls of 100 feet.. for about $38. The best is 250 psi of pressure CPVC... but minimum is 160 psi.
