The NPTF to CPVC socket fittings should be wrenched tight to the pipe nipples in the water heater. Follow the instructions on the cement and primer cans. The ones I have used want the primer to be wet when applying the cement and immediately making up the joints. There is also an all in one glue for CPVC pipe that is both primer and glue in one step. Purple primer is the most awful staining stuff known to mankind. It has supernatural powers to damage the most expensive and difficult materials to replace. Don't ask me how I know that. Overall not a bad job for a first timer. Remember RU-vidland, Be kind.
You’re right. They should be wrenched tight. I actually did wrench them tight, but I was describing it a different way incorrectly. I don’t remember why I said add a quarter turn. Good call though, thanks for the correction. And yes, I know about the all-in-one glue that does not require primer, but I just use what I had on hand. Cheers, Thanks for the corrections!
An electric Graco 295 “puppy pump”. Using a Graco 311 spray tip. Pro-Cryl acrylic primer. And pro industrial water based alkyd urethane, semigloss for a finish coat. All from Sherwin Williams. Where are you from renostubbs? I’m guessing England or Australia? 😄
@@AceIsCakehomerepair well,you are almost correct with your answers, thanks to the English who probably gave birth to the Assuies lol I watching from The beautiful islands of The Bahamas.
Nothing much used to prevent overspray, just a steady hand. We sprayed these doors 5 years ago. Because of the paint job before 5 years ago, (before us) and the intensity of the direct sunlight on a dark color, the paint was failing in some locations. The edges have molding that is already the brown color so a steady hand, overlapping the spray from the roll up door onto the molding was all that was needed. We did use cardboard and drop cloths for the ground below.
There were 3 different coats of paint. The first coat was ProMar 200 low sheen eggshell in a grey color. Then the owner decided he wanted the wall an orange color. So we painted 1 coat of regular white drywall primer, then 3 coats of orange ProMar 200 low sheen to cover sufficiently. All paints from Sherwin Williams.
