fix broken PVC pipe

It looks like Ralph may be right. Either it just fell out or it snapped off inside. You should be able to just loosen the cap (the one with the ridges), push the top pipe back in, then retighten the cap.

From the photo it looks like the pipe is not actually PVC but rather the cheap, thinner, plastic do-it-yourself stuff. If for some reason you can't put the pipes back together as is, go to Home Depot or Lowes, in the section where you can find PVC, and you should be able to find bags of the cheap plastic fittings for sale. They come in a plastic bag with about 10 parts -- sort of a kit for doing a sink drain. PVC and the thinner plastic are not interchangeable.

And the OP would have had to wait an hour or two or more in order to be home when he arrived.

Worked fine for me. Of course I use IE11.

Worked for me too. XP and the latest version of Firefox.

Maybe the other guys are using Win98.

Could be. There was a sale on that at Best Buy last week.

I wouldn't brag about using IE11, especially with script enabled. In the past couple of weeks you've been susceptible to several nasty bugs:

To Microsoft's credit, they've already patched the Desktop version of IE11. That's unusually fast. But there's no reason to think you're not a sitting duck. In fact, it would be irrational not to think so.

Someone sure did do a hack job on cutting it.

Glad you got it fixed, Jan.

In the photo, it looks broken to me -- with a jagged edge where it broke, and a piece of the broken off part still in the fitting.

Well, duh....., I just read the follow-up post by the OP who said it turned out not to be broken and it is now fixed.

And it looks like ABS, not PVC.
