How to repair a drilled hole in pvc pipe?

You can cut through the pipe where the hole is and glue in a coupling.

Hope this helps,

Drain or supply line? The coupling Wally mentions would work on a supply line but short cuts are possible on a drain.

Gorilla glue it with sawdust, mix it then put it over a piece of plastic in pipe I fonly used for cold water, then use leak sealing caulk when it dries, great glue, my father once used gorilla glue to glue his mirror back on the car, still holding strong over a year through snow and all

Cutting in a coupling is a great repair but you're going to hafta make up the piece you cut out with another coupling and a short piece of pipe and then you will have to have enough room to spring the two ends. And I've never carried Gorilla glue on my truck so I can't comment on that. You failed to inform us what the pipe does, it's size or how big the hole is that .you put into it. Until you furnish us with something to work with we've gone as far as we can go. Back to you. Tom

Gorilla glue with sawdust, why not just use PVC glue, that's what its made for. If you use a saddle patch and PVc primer and glue it should definitely hold for a drain but I would not recommend for a supply.
