Water will flow along the "crooked" pipe, as one of the foremen of our brigade used to say, when polypropylene was welded poorly or crookedly during the overhaul of houses.

And in truth, polypropylene pipes and fittings forgive many mistakes for both experienced craftsmen and a novice specialist. Therefore, now I will tell you about my "trick", which will allow you to do less wrong actions when working with polymer pipes. This idea has been in the air for a long time, or somewhere I saw it and I don't remember where. Or I came up with a modernization and only now I am putting it out to the public.

To implement our plan, we need:

  • Welding machine, soldering iron. In my case, it's cheap, I told about it earlier - here.
  • Screwdriver with a drill with a diameter of 3 mm.

Let's get down to the process spoilage modernization of the "iron" for polypropylene, in particular the attachment. Photos in the gallery, please scroll through. And then the snow will fall on the head.

Find the place where we will create a hole

We got the following hole:

What is this amateur performance for? All information in the gallery, leaf through and get acquainted with the author's idea:

We warm up the soldering iron with our nozzle.
We put the pipe and fitting into the sockets
We observe the hole in the nozzle.

If you use this upgrade, then your welding quality will increase, and you are less likely to get something like this.
