I had a pvc pipe going into a bathtub spigot snap off right at the joint in the wall. I tried prying the remaining piece out but the cement is just too stubborn. Any ideas on how to get that last half inch of pipe out? There isn't even any sticking out of the joint to get a hold of.

Show us a picture. Pipe to a bath faucet should not be PVC. Should be CPVC. The attachment to the faucet will be threaded fitting. Where attached to the other fitting it will be glued and cannot be removed. I am guessing but most likely that other fitting is an elbow.

You will cut the pipe above the elbow, use a coupling to add a piece of pipe back. Put on a new elbow. Put a new threaded fitting in the faucet. The put a piece of pipe between faucet and elbow.

Show us a picture. You must use CPVC pipe and glue.

Can you posta picture? If it snapped at a joint or coupling there are tools you can buy or rent that fit on an electric drill and will remove the pipe inside the coupling. You can stop trying to get a hold of the pipe, you will never pull or twist it out, its PVC welded with a glue that dissolves the material Wheeler W016400 NA PIPE HOG PVC / ABS FITTING REAMER 16400: Compare Prices, View Price History and Read Reviews at NexTag (http://www.nextag.com/Wheeler-W016400-NA-PIPE-714010209/prices-html)

The piece that broke off was not threaded at all. The faucet was attached with a small clamp.

Sorry, not sure how else to post the pics.

The faucet was attached with a small clamp.
Now that's really strange or to say the least unusual.

Pictures not currently available. You might want to post pictures directly to this site.

There are two "skins" available on this site. With the old style there is a "Go Advanced" button below the "Answer this Question" block. With the new style there is a "Do you want to add an Attachment" below and on the left of the answer block.

Old style, click on "Go Advanced" button, scroll down and click on "Manage Attachments", browse to find pictures, Open pictures, then click on "Upload.

New style click on "Do want to add an Attachment".

Pictures should be in JPG format.

Thanks, had to go to the old style. I still don't see an attachment button on the new style.

Now I'm really confused. But then again some things make sense.

From the pictures it looks like you are talking about the stub out for the tub spout. Can't see too clearly but it looks like some one put a CPVC pipe on for a stub out using a hose clamp. Remove the hose clamp and the remainder of the pipe so we can see the connection to the valve. This would also explain how this could get broken.

Right now it I think I am looking a copper or brass elbow with a piece of CPVC on it in the first and third pic.

Do you have an access panel on the other side of the wall? Going to be a little difficult to work through that little hole but can be done. Try to get clamp and pipe off then post new pic.

Don't understand 2nd or middle picture. From where was it taken? Was it taken from the access hole on the other side of the wall?

Are you sure that there is clamp around the CPVC pipe? Could it be that the CPVC pipe fits inside the copper elbow.
