How To Prime & Glue PVC “Correctly”

Never thought of beveling ! Thanks Mr. Fred!

I’m 25yrs plus in business. Your video is short but direct. Good job.

Good stuff thx

Great, simple explanation, to the point.. and I liked when you say "why" you do something.. helps to remember the concept.

Thank you sir 🙏.

The entire video I couldn't help but tilt my head to the side slightly while watching. Even after I realized and corrected myself. It just started tilting slightly again 😂

Wiping the glue is important it avoids a pinhole leak.

Thanks for the easy to understand tips and steps

It's easy when the pipe and fitting is right there in the open, not so easy when it's in a hole of wet clay soil.

Does this guy remind anyone else of Ted Williams?

Great info. Keep in mind the different types of pvc glue. Some have a cure time of 12-24 hours. Never buy PBC that has been stored outside. The PVC breaks down & become chalky. Will shatter easily while cutting.

Thank you!

Just got done installing a water heater and now trying to run the drain line from the pan to the outside. This video is very helpful, thank you.

Is primer and cleaner the same?

Professional

Thanks for the tips much appreciated just saying

Great tips, thank you Sir! 👍

Thanks!

Cure time is size, temperature and solvent dependent. If you're in a hurry check the manufacturers datasheet. Otherwise the video completely follows accepted practice.

I am curious where the glue on the end of the pipe mention came from. That is something only ever talked about with foam core pipes like DWV or ABS and as far as I know it's a plumbing urban legend. (It's not specified on the IPS instruction sheet)

The only thing I would have mentioned is to be careful about too much glue or primer such that it puddles in the bottom of the fitting as that can weaken the fitting and or eventually delaminate and cause a blockage.

Wait time depends on the brand (like Othey) and the temperature outside where you are working. Colder temperature requires a longer wait time.

Why did you dont use the cleaner pvc before primer?

Very clear and concise video. I feel much better about tackling my first PVC job!

How do you do it correctly - not "correctly?"

Thanks man!

I like this guy! Right to the point. Nothing fancy, just good, clear info!

I didn’t use the primer but just the glue. I put plenty of glue on and pushed the pipes together. The smell is potent of that glue! Did I do it correctly? Thanks

Just what I needed! Thank you

You had me at .." It can even cause a clog!"

Amazing Game!

Great video brother thats good stuff bro thanks buddy

How long to you let the primer set/dry before you can apply glue?

Holy crap, did I do it wrong! I had 6 fittings leak because I just didn't know what I was doing, and I felt so confident. My Husky PVC cutter cut super straight, which was surprising.

Great video! Informative and concise.

Thanks!

To the point, good job. 10/10

I have a question I'm wanting to bend a 3" 5' pvc pipe and I capped both ends already is it dangerous for me to use a heat gun just enough for me to Bend it a few inches 😅 I'm thinking not and probably need to jist buy new pipes but hopefully not

Yup watched video then got ready then watched video then glued pipe in place very helpful reminder of basics it's been awhile

the best of the best

Never used primer, always worked out for me. Had to use a glue and primer 2in1 and that’s when I had it leak on me.

Big help!

Anyone got unintentional ASMR when adding the glue and primer?

This vid did perfect 🥂!!

Thanks

Awesome video; thank you!

Great video! Thank you for posting. Very clear instructions and I am glad I watched!

What do you do if you're working with pipes that you can't turn when you glue them

I did your 5 steps putting together some sprinkler valves and it work amazingly.. thank you very much

Unreal. Thank you so much for the clear instructions

So what do you guys think? After watching this video do you feel more confident doing PVC plumbing DIY projects? Let me know in the comments below.⤵️
