Using solvent cement to glue PVC pipes is the surest way to create a long-lasting seal on your waste fittings. Many people are tempted to use push fit pipes, while these do have their place, I feel these systems are on the market because people are hesitant to use solvent cement.
However one you have glued a pipe and fitting just once, you will have mastered the technique. It is actually easier than any other system - it just looks difficult because the solvent cement (just a glue) is involved.
The Building Sheriff show you how to glue PVC pipes together, quickly, easily and permanently. It couldn't be simpler.

Like the idea of a normal saw, tried a hacksaw this morning and it cuts on an angle without realising it.

Hey friend, I don't agree in marking both elbow. I'd glue one end first without marking and then I'd mark the second. This will cut in half the possibilities of being off. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@buildingsheriff 5 лет назад

Real Name I only showed marking the first album as a way of making this a habit. Of course it doesn’t matter how the first elbow is glued as it can never be incorrect. Thanks for your comment.

Does connecting too many pipes at a time in a large configuration weaken the cement solution due to the weight?

@buildingsheriff 5 лет назад

Danny Taylor Not at all. Cement is just the terminology used for this product. In essence it’s just glue.

@94XJ 4 года назад

@@buildingsheriff It is basically glue, but with with the added strength of actually softening the PVC and bonding the plastic together almost like a weld. It's a different from of PVC but at the automation company where I used to work, we'd use WeldOn to bond blocks of PVC together to get a big enough piece to machine certain tooling. If the blocks had slightly different coloration, you could see about a quarter inch line where the two blocks melded into one another. I don't know if the effect is the same on these plumbing bonds (which is actually what I was looking for) but the end result was an inseperable bond that, aside from the occasional coloration thing I mentioned earlier, was indiscernible from a single piece of PVC.

Does the cement it need to be on the pipe? I do use this to make bird feeders from PVC pipe but I put the cement on the fitting only as there is less waste as it just coves the area of contact and not past it. Am I doing it wrong ?

@buildingsheriff 2 года назад

Yes, weather on the pipe or the fitting. Both work.

@popezk3068 Год назад

Hi there! Hope you'll notice me. Is that solvent cement prevents water leakage? I'm also using pvc pipes.

@buildingsheriff Год назад

Yes it is.

@williambright4033 2 года назад

How long to dry this before using the pipe

@buildingsheriff 2 года назад

60 seconds! It goes of very quickly indeed.

How would you separate without breaking. Mabey heat

does solvent cement waterproof it? for putting conduit under ground for example?

@buildingsheriff 11 месяцев назад

Yes it does.

@@buildingsheriff ah cool . Do I just get any type of solvent cement? I need to put some conduit under my garden bed and can't allow water to go in it

@buildingsheriff 11 месяцев назад

@@PatrickGuerrisi yes as long as it’s on plastic any solvent cement will make that joint waterproof. If the water can’t come out from the inside, it won’t go in from the outside.

No primer? Didn't put the cement on the fitting? So much wrong with this...

@buildingsheriff 4 года назад

Daniel Clyburn why are you watching if you’re such an expert? This works, friend. I’ve been doing this for 30 years. But thanks for an alternative POV.

@DanielClyburn 4 года назад

Fair point.

@___Zack___ 2 года назад

@@DanielClyburn Firstly, primer is not really necessary as the adhesive also softens the plastic anyway, making it no more effective with, than without. Secondly there's no point adding the adhesive to parts that won't touch. Obviously (?). The adhesive comes into contact with all necessary parts. No offense but you sound like someone who wants to pick faults but has no idea what they are talking about. Don't be _that_ guy.
