Before the glue-up, always test-fit the PVC parts together fully and mark their relative positions. The advantage of this method of "registering" the pipes and fittings will become clear once you see howquickly the glue setsand how impossible it is to correct any mistakes. A dry-fit is s...

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. ...
Plastic PVC pipes are often joined using a variety of non-threaded connectors. However, cutting threads into PVC pipes can facilitate connections to steel pipes. In addition, threaded connections create a more durable, leak-proof joint and are often desi
However, this is impossible, as nothing will dissolve the solvent between the pieces of PVC [source: This Old House]. Fortunately, there is a solution when it comes to dealing with stubborn PVC pipe glue. With the right tools and approach, you can "unglue" PVC pipe. The key is to ...
