How to easily connect pipes of the same diameter without using adapters or couplings

Sooner or later, each owner is faced with the need to connect two pipes with the same diameter. It would seem, what can be difficult in this action? Just use an adapter or coupler. However, what about a situation when neither one nor the other is at hand on the farm? There is a way out of the described situation, and it is far from being as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

When people find out about this method of connecting pipes, they (as a rule) immediately say something in the spirit of the classic: "Why was it possible?" So, let us note once again that we are faced with the task of reliably connecting two shaped pipes of the same diameter. But at the same time, you cannot resort to the use of various adapters and couplings. In fact, you don't have to do anything complicated.

To begin with, you will need to measure the exact diameter of the tubes. Immediately after that, you will need to find some kind of glass vessel with a similar diameter. Bottle parameters do not have to be 1 to 1. It is enough that the dimensions are approximately the same. A little more is desirable.

Now we need a gas burner or hot air gun. With their help, one of the tubes is heated. As soon as the plastic becomes pliable, the selected bottle is pushed into the pipe with some degree of force so that the edge deforms and becomes wider. We leave all things in this position for 5-15 minutes. After that we take out the glass bottle. The first pipe is ready.

Little remains to be done. We take the second tube. We clean and degrease its edge. Then we wind insulation impregnated with sealant on it in several layers. Even a regular bandage can be used as insulation. Then we insert a tube with a smaller diameter into a tube with a larger diameter. After a while, the sealant will dry out, and the pipe can be used for its intended purpose.
