[TowerTalk] glueing PVC

[r miles]

If you're not familiar with the process ASK for help. You glue & put 
together PVC you have 10 seconds to change your mind. It locks that 
fast. I've done lots of joints but I ALWAYS  dry fit to be sure I've cut 
the tubing the proper length. You lose 1/2 '' inside every joint. When I 
need ells & elbows I mark  a line on both pieces so I can align them 
correctly. You only have a very few  seconds to align.  I don't  bother 
with the purple primer. The new all purpose glue doesn't require it.  I 
plumbed my new house 14 yr.s ago. Both water & waste. Only problem with 
the 3'' & 4'' is the weight handling vs. the smaller PVC when working 
with it. It's just bigger & takes more planning.

There's an old carpenters axium: measure TWICE & cut ONCE. I always feel 
the ends. They can have no burrs. Gently sand rough spots. For 1 1/2'' 
PVC or smaller a  $5  PVC cutting sissors makes life easier.
