NDS 118-10 Pro-Span PVC Expansion Repair Coupling, For Broken or Cracked In-Ground PVC Pipes, 1-Inch IPS Slip X Spigot, White

Love these repair sleeves! So far no negative comments with my original repair in the ground for over 3-years (and shallow might I add so zero-turn and my small 30 hp tractor routinely drives over). I now maintain a selection for the pipes I have in the ground of 3/4” and 1” sprinkler piping. Benefits:- reduced labor - since the sleeve allows for bridging the gap of a broke section, I do not have to open as much ground as I did with using a collar or installation of a union (which I have had leaks from due to running over the ground after repairs to pack it down- reliable - see note above as I was concerned about kinking, roots, etc causing the sleeve to leak around the sliding seals but solid as a rock so far- cost effective - I prefer this due to the above comments although the collar is always cheaper but I had to open 3-4 feet of hole on either side of the break and closely estimate the cutting length before pulling the pipe up in an arc to gain enough clearance to slide the pipe fitting(s) onto the repaired section. Hope that makes sense?

I reviewed their installation video from the manufacture that is on their YouTube channel. I was impressed of the quality of manufacture and the ease of installation. This unit is made in USA and works better than the cheap imports you get at local big box hardware stores that I had to replace too many times. Like them so well that I have extras ready to use if needed. I have already loaned some to a neighbor.

I used this to repair a broken irrigation pipe. Worked perfect so there's nothing else to say about it. I'll order it again if I need to.

The telescoping tube does not need to fully extend but does need to engage the locking notches at the female connection end. It works anywhere in between, almost closed and/or fully extended. Also, the male end will fit into a solenoid valve or other fitting. Don't really need a coupling it that end works in another fitting. Saves having to flex existing pipes to dry fit & glue. I used it to install a new solenoid valve. Kept the hole smaller. They could make a very video. It does not make a clicking sound as you rotate the tube. Just the seals rubbing up against the inner tube. If you can flex the pipes to dry fit & glue don't need it. Save the money.

I was replacing my backflow preventer and needed to patch a piece of pipe right next to the fitting. I only had about 1 foot of pipe to work with in the access box, so this little coupler saved the day. It's been about 2 weeks and I'm still leak free. This is a much nicer solution that digging up several feet of pipe to patch breaks

This worked perfectly and I found a video on YouTube that showed how easy it is to use. It saved me from having to call a plumber to fix it.

Just what I needed. Had broken sprinkler pipe and attempted to fix it, but could get the leverage to make it fit, so I cut some more off, leaving barely enough for the pipe to go in the coupler. Needless to say the fix didn’t work and water went everywhere when I turned it back on. Got this and was able to stretch to make it fit perfectly.

I read the reviews where some said it didn't work for various reasons. I have used slip fixes before and had no problems but this one had some new features so I thought maybe the manufacturer had messed them up. I used this with a tee off my main line and it worked perfectly with no leakage.
