How do I repair a jacuzzi bath tub piping?
Feb 20, 2011 in
Jacuzzi
The elbow connector is broken where it connects to the T connector in the line and the valve on the other side. How should I repair it? Can I cut the line and buy a new valve and and elbow or what? I have pictures if it helps. The pipe broke when the tub slid against the surround when we were installing it.

No big deal -things happen—go to Depot or plumbing supply—-you can get the parts you need to fix it and glue it back like new . Couplings are common—just get the right size

I would get a sample of the broken pipe and take it to either Lowes or Home Depot. They should be able to advise you. I think after that, you could probably do it yourself. Good Luck.

They have PVC fittings called "extenders" that fit inside the pipe to allow you to glue on your new fitting if pipe is broke….they also have reamers which fit on a drill and ream out the old pipe so you can attach new pipe,sold at plumbing places
