Howdy friends,
I stumbled onto something today that I did not know existed.
Pros probably know this, but there are some special pvc fittings that install by being glued INSIDE the end of pvc pipes.
Not glued onto the outside, as usual.
These would be ideal when there is no access to glue a normal fitting onto a pipe stub.
Like a pipe stub cut off flush to the fitting it was glued into.
This situation would normally require chiseling out the pipe from the fitting socket.
Or using a special “socket saver” bit to bore it out.
Or for trying to tie into a drain, but the stub has been cut flush to a tile or hard surface, with no clearance around it to be able to slip a fitting over it.
Many other tough situations could be solved with these adapters.
Yes, they reduce the pipe inside diameter and flow, but in a pinch they could be just what is needed.
