Thread: any plumbers here? Need advice.

I have fixed these numerous times like ATM said then I got one of these, it makes jobs like this a breeze, just cut two small slits thru the broken off piece of pipe then take a screwdriver and peck the old out, with some sanding you can glue a new one rite back in there. Borrow or buy you one of these and keep it, best tool ever invented in my book.

Works for me everytime.

make sure its a union plumber might as well go first class

Cut n chip and clean up with a rotary file. Fits good. Thx for all the opinions.

I knew you could do it if enough ideas came along. The plumber son-in-law said to use the fitting shown above. It's sold at Brown's, Southaven Supply and Chris Moore. Not at Home Depot or Lowe's.

That was my original idea was to splice it. Thx for bugging your son in law. And I agree, Southaven supply is the place to go for advice and out of the ordinary hardware. Thx jt.
