LOCK AND LOAD! Nah just kidding. All pvc glue manufactures recommend applying the glue at a certain temp. What temp does it say on the can? I like to apply the primer, then while the primer is still wet, run your dauber around the pipe end, then inside the fitting. Insert pipe into fitting and give just a 1/4 turn to spread the glue. I hope you are cutting the pvc with a pipe cutter (special wheels made for plastic pipe are available) and not using a hacksaw. It's a good idea to ream the ID and OD also to remove burrs ang get a perfect joint. The only other thing I can suggest is : Make on your male or female adapters, then if room allows stub out a small piece of schedule 40 pvc and then try to make some kind of transition to your flex. The pool types of plastic flex hose usually have a straight end where you could get a Fernco to go on. Best of luck and save the bullets. Happy Holiday's, Tom |
