Nov 20, 2014 · Glue, stick, repeat, the labour savings are pretty insane. Maybe primer is best practice but never seen a big issue with glue alone. Taking the time to primer seems like it would interrupt the flow of rapid piping, if you hustle with just glue and the trench already cut you can run 200' in like 3-4 minutes.

Jul 26, 2020 · PVC glue is actually a solvent: THF. Google/Bing it. TetraHydroFuran. It's made by the TON. Once it softens PVC the plastic FUSES. The effect is more towards welding not gluing. PVC fittings and pipe go for DIRT. So there's absolutely no point in wasting your labor to save them. Just cut back and re-do.

Aug 19, 2016 · Most times you see a male adapter on the pvc and a male connector on the flex and a rigid coupling in the middle which looks super hack but passes. I would use a flex connector (with a male end) and a glue on female adapter and it looks decent and passes.

What is the go to method for such transitions? I am thinking to use a PVC female adapter on th e pvc and then screw in a liquid tight connector with the rubber o-ring in place.

A good joint is completely solid in seconds. A bad joint will never be solid. It's all about the tight fit and a thoughtful back fill.

Jul 10, 2011 · If I ever decide to walk across the Sahara Desert, I'm going to bring a 2' length of 2" PVC and a shovel. When I get thirsty, all I have to do is bury the pipe, wait about 5 minutes, dig it up, and it'll be full of water! Seriously though; other than pressurizing it, …

Feb 7, 2021 · Too liberal and you get excess glue inside the conduit system. This is one reason I do not like "liberally" applying glue to the inside of a coupling. I usually will wet the 1st inch of a bell end and just a 1/2" swab on a standard coupling.
