The compression tee is what I use. Works best, especially if there is ANY water at all dripping through a pipe. If water dripping through a pipe you cannot get it to get very flexible because the evaporating water cools the area to quickly

@canebro1 4 месяца назад

I appreciate you getting straight to the point. But a much easier method is just to file out the stopper inside the T, then you can slide it fully onto one side, apply the primer and glue, then slide it over both sides. Very easy and no messing with a heat gun.

@Quickened1 Год назад

Great video advice! To determine the exact amount to cut out, I suggest marking the fitting on the outside, where the bump stops inside the fitting correlate to the outside of the fitting, (I personally don't do this after decades of working with pvc, so I, and obviously you, can just eyeball it),. Then hold the fitting up against the pipe and transfer the marks to the pipe. Should be perfect. That's for those who've never done this! Edit: you can also use a propane torch, you just have to be conservative and much more careful not to overheat the pvc...

@electronicsNmore Год назад

Yes, that will make the job easier. Glad you liked the video!

you can buy a "no-stop" tee or union. you can make a "no-stop" tee or union by using a drill or a round file to remove the "stop". this enables the tee or the union to slide all the way onto one pipe. then you slide it over the other pipe. the "stop" is just a raised ring that prevents the tee or union from sliding past tee opening or the midway point respectively. you can buy them. you might have to order them and wait a bit or just take a file or little wheel grinder and remove the "stop". it's easy. it's quick.

@steadness1263 Год назад

The Primer is a weaker form of the actual PVC Glue, it is actually starting the melting process. So to let is cure (dry) is to basically waste the primer. Fortunately you are using small diameter pipe with minimal pressures. If you did that with large diameter pipe you would have a weak joint. The PVC Solvent should be applied when the primer is still wet. You are extending the melting process when you use primer properly and apply the Solvent immediately after the primer. BTW the directions are on the can.
