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...
though, where loosening threaded PVC fittings can be done fairly easily. One situation is if glue hasn’t been used to attach the threaded PVC pipe fittings. You may also be able to twist and

Once you have the correct size, you must cut your piping and slip the tee on, securing it with glue. Tee fittings are also available with pipe threads to attach to male threads. Slip Cross: The PVC slip cross allows you to connect four separate pieces of pipe altogether. Flex couplings:...
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 measure to calculate the depth of the ...
To make the PVC pipe playhouse, you’ll need 1/2 inch PVC pipe and fittings plus fabric in your choice of colors and a glue gun with lots of extra glue sticks. I actually had a garage full of PVC pipe and used what I had {which is why the roof sits the way it does instead of...
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 ...
