Push the end of the pipe into the coupling immediately after the glue has been applied, then slightly twist the pipe to ensure that all sides of the pipe inside the coupling make a solid and firm connection. Repeat this process with as many pipes and couplings that you have. Warning...

You can cut PVC pipe with almost any type of saw, including a handsaw designed for wood, a hacksaw, reciprocating saw or miter saw. For small pipe, you can also use a plastic pipe cutter—a tool that looks like modified pruning shears. The important thing is to make a straight cut th...
The type of glue you use to joinPVC pipe & fittingsis called “solvent weld,” and these two words tell you the reason why it’s 99 percent impossible to separate pvc pipes and pipe fitting once they are glued together. This type of glue isn’t a surface coating; it’s a PVC solven...
Todays episode of BRS TV is all about priming and cementing PVC pipe and fittings the right way to prevent potential leaks. Its a super easy project once you know how, and we will show you how! Disclaimer

Method 2:Add More Glue It seems counterproductive, but sometimes adding more glue to the joint can actually help to loosenthreaded PVC fittings and joints. Because the glue—PVC solvent cement—temporarily melts the pipe, it may be able to soften the pipe, making it easier to twist or pull...
The use of PVC pipes and joints has become commonplace around the home. As with all types of pipes, there will be opportunities arise when there will be a need to repair PVC pipes. Here are some tips on how to handle PVC repair.
Do not attempt to push the pipe into the fitting to get the measurement. Many PVC fittings are slightly tapered and won’t allow you, in most cases, to fully seat “dry” pipe. We’ll explain this in detail when we get into how to glue PVC. The take-away is to use the tape mea...
