I have one of those, and have used it. It is not nearly as neat and easy as they make it look. It looks like you had a Tee - short pipe - fitting . My best advice is to use either a hacksaw blade, a hand saw for PVC or a vibrating cutter and very carefully cut the remaining piece on the outer ring in 1 -2 places, then use a heat gun to soften the PVC and cause the glue to release. you can use a flathead screwdriver and a pair of pliers to then peel away the remains on the outside. use sandpaper to clean up the remaining stub, then primer and glue in a new piece. One note, be careful not to heat up the inner pipe too much or it will soften and deform, at which point it will be very difficult to glue to since it will no longer be round. I have used this method successfully for many, many pool plumbing repairs.P,
You need to use one of these..
Well maybe not.. I had assumed it was a standard PVC T without any threads...
Thanks,

It's not recommendedI ended up going with a pressure rated fitting instead of a DWV clean out So I had to extend it a little. Can you use DWV on pool pipe? Thanks!
