[TowerTalk] Repairing PVC?

[Jim White, K4OJ]

assuming the splice is 2 1/16" (in joke - ignore)

get a splice for 4" pvc, the usual kind when you wanna put two lengths 
together - a "double female"....

saw it in half lengthwise so you have two half moon pieces...

remove the bump in the middle of the splice, this is a "stop" so you do 
not over-insert it during normal operation...easiest way to remove it is 
with a dremel tool or similar and buzz it off, a file will do in a pinch...

glue it onto the side of existing PVC over the trouble spot - put a few 
wraps of tape around it 'til the glue cures so it don't slide on you...

that will give you an unadulterated pipe...

73,

Jim, K4OJ
