with toilet flanges I tap around the center of the flange with a hammer and progressively hit harder before I cut the reliefs. sometimes they breaker the glue joint free. if not I cut my reliefs and pry on the peices first. my trick is not to pry on the the pipe or fitting I'm trying to save. I do a lot of this and have a pretty good success rate as a service plumber. I have some good tricks for removing copper male adapters and galvanized pipe from cast iron. just takes patience and thinking out side the box when in tight confinement. detection and location are a specialty of mine also. thanks for the videos boss. keep them coming.

As a 3rd generation plumber who has done all of these ways I will warn of #3 which works great on large diameter pipe like 12”-16”. Don’t use this method if pipe was glued together in last week or so PVC glue is explosive if contained. The vapors are heavy and will settle in pipe. Trust me on this I have seen what happens. Several hundred feet of pipe was turned into shards of plastic. It was not pretty and if someone had been in ditch they would have died. If pipe is aired out works great.

I'm a construction plumber and I have all pipe sizes socket saver from 11/2 to 4". When I was a apprentice I worked with a foreman who didn't know about these bits and he made me dig under a tee that tied into the city sewer because it was broken inside the top of the hub. The tee was still good. The trench was about 3 feet deep and about $60 dollars in fittings. Years later, I worked with a different foreman and we was in the same situation. Broken pipe in the hub on top of the San tee. But this time I didn't have to dig 3 feet down. The foreman had a set of reed ram bits and that's where I learned to use the ram bits and I've used it numerous times since then. Framers on the grade all forklifts constantly break our risers for sewer pipes. I have the raptor brand socket savers from Ferguson. They are not as nice as the Reed ram bits but way cheaper and they work fine for me. Thanks for the video Roger. Perhaps you saved some people from digging unnecessary trenches in the future. Haha.

Very cool. The only thing I would've done differently on the last one is use an acetylene torch on a hole saw bit roughly the same size as the inside diameter of the PVC. That way you're limiting the heat to the inside of the fitting and not risking compromising the fitting or giving out unnecessary fumes. Great video!

Socket saver is a must have, I actually use it for other things, like when I’m roughing in urinals, I’ll glue the 2” into the wall, and once the drywall and paint is done, I’ll use the socket saver on the two inch pipe, so that urinal flange fits perfectly 1/2” in from the finish wall. Whenever we are doing underground and the concrete guy snaps the pipe, after THEY chip some concrete around where they snapped it, I’ll use a socket saver down below the concrete to put a coupling on. OR if you’re pipe isn’t quiet roughed into the wall, you can save the pipe down low enough to get a 32nd bend or whatever and squeeze that into the wall

As I’m watching what you’re doing. The first idea seems to be an excellent idea. however when trying to perform that type of repair most of the time you’re in a tight spot which will not allow you to use a salsa or any type of cutting tool since you will be in such a awkward position. I have personally used your second method of saving a fitting. There’s actually a company that sells a kit with the different sizes for your drill. They have two separate styles of kit for cutting a PVC pipe and having a perfectly round male and a female removal kit as well. Know using fire for removing PVC I’ve never utilized that method. in my opinion it seems dangerous depending on the individual situation. You never know if there’s any methane gases that have collected in the pipe unless it’s a new construction.

The best method is to use an old hole saw. I actually learned this method from the got2learn channel. You get a hole saw that fits as close as possible to tue inside of the pipe. Get it red hot with a torch then stick it inside. Use vise grips to hold it at a certain depth. You can pull the old pipe out with your hand this way.

As an electrician, I might get the fitting saver. Might come in handy someday with a conduit fuck up.

Instead of the sawzall and screw driver I've used a half inch wood chisel and hammer. Thanks for the tip on using fire. I had seen it done before but I needed a refresher course.

I do NOT reccomend the fire method in MOST cases...be VERY careful with that one

@@RogerWakefield I did start off trying to fire method, however the whole fitting started to flex and bend, so I backed off of that and went with my old standby. Actually more of a combination of the two as the space I was working in was incredibly tight.

hole saw bit (like you'd use on a door). choose one smaller than your fitting, hit it with heat til it glows and slip it into your pipe. Fantastic at controlled softening, no open flame and peel the pipe right out with whatever plier device you prefer.

You can use boiling water too. Put fitting in pot of boiling water and edge it out using flat steel piece. It is thermoplastic it softens when warm.

one thing to do this on a nice clean workbench with no obstructions around you, quite different to do this under a building laying in a dirt trench that took you three days to dig out while laying on your side and barely enough room to move.

I used to do it at work score your pipe with the saw like you said and then take a heat gun or a blow dryer and heat the pipe on the inside then take a pair of pliers and turn the pipe n-word and a rose around a circle and pulls away from the glue fitting then you can pull the piece of pipe out

I use a combination heatgun & Sawzall, meaning I cut a slit into the pipe heat the area and roll the pipe off heating as I go. A good tip is to use a wet rag to keep the fitting cool as you roll to prevent it from deforming
