A Self Clamping PVC Pipe Patch

Using low-tech thermal forming, I make PVC patches that will fit any size PVC pipe. These patches snap in place, so need no clamping device while the cement sets up.

Ive patched them for many years, just cut a 1/4 piece out, add glue to both portions( pipe and patch) and snap it over. never had any issues at all. you can add a clamp or zip tie if you wish. small pvc may need more or a peice removed. like 1/3rd or more as it's a lot stiffer the small it gets.

I’ve use 3/4” pipe to patch 1/2” but no other sizes worked for me.

you cal also use the thinner pvc pipe to patch it's easyer to clip over the small the pipe the harder it gets, I usualy use the sale dia for the patch as the one being patched. I have a nack for finding sprinkler pipes quite fast...I think in 1 hour or less I had to patch 8 that I found....( I think it's a dowzing pitchfork,not me)although the spade works just as well at finding them.
