Yes, cut the pipe off flush with the fitting. Then using a hacksaw blade cut the pipe inside the fitting (from front to back) without cutting into the fitting cup. I make about four cuts (every 90 degrees).Then use a chisel and go in between the pipe and fitting cup. It should pop or peel out at this point - section by section. Hill


: I'm removing an old sink in a laundry room which drains directly into a 2" PVC pipe connected to the main drain for the house. Is there any way to remove the old PVC pipe from the "T" fitting without having to cut the entire fitting out of the line and install a new one? The PVC cement is holding very well, and I don't see how you can break it free from that cement. I would greatly appreciate any tips from the experts out there.

: Thanks
