The Thirty (30) - second hold, after pushing the two pieces together with the glue: I did not KNOW that. Thanks. It explains some problems I've had. Brilliant!
I’m so glad you said something about the jelly! My husband connected our water line together and it was jelly when he did it but it still worked until someone ran over the line, now I’m fixing it and I have to idea what I’m doing! So now I know no jelly cement. Great video!
Emlyen Durden you’re welcome. Most folks who only use PVC cement every few years wouldn’t likely realize the jelly like consistency indicates the cement has gone bad. Please consider subscribing!
Same here. I bought new cement and saw that I still have some old cement left, so I used the old cement instead. The old cement was jelly. I tested the strength of the joints after all and they were super strong. Hopefully, they won't detach. Well, you make mistakes and learn new things every day.
Man, I have been using the jelly like cement for a good while. It wasn't until I just bought some more cement and found it was runny like water that I figured I should find out which consistency was right. Thankfully I just used the jelly on 1/2" sprinkler lines that I pressurized (didn't leak), but got me worried now. I am about to do a major job on my main sprinkler line, bought this very runny cement (same as in the video), and I thought there was something wrong with it and was about to return it, as I have never bought a can with that consistency. Thank you very much for showing what you did in your video. Save me some time.
I just used jellied like in the video, and I have before. Seems to hold just fine but I will report back if something blows. A Never used unopened can but pretty old.🤶
@@saraluttrell189 Worked great on my emergencies to get some water going, but once I got further down in the can it was too sticky and I had to go and get a new can to finish.
Everything looked ok, except for the way the glue was applied. You DO NOT put glue in the female ends of any connection. The reason is that all of the excess glue is pushed into the pipe, and that can be bad, especially on potable water systems. You only glue the male end, and all the excess glue is pushed to the outside of the pipe, and can be wiped away. This is one of the most common mistakes made by even highly experienced plumbers.
I’ve never used a liquid type cement like that. Interesting. I’ve never used primer either. The two times I did use primer I did not have a good seal and had to redo. Thanks for the video!
if you are just using it for a class project there is really no need to prime the surface, it just makes a weird looking purple rings on you project. primer is really just to get the best glue up at possible mainly for longevity, which you will not need.
With PVC pipe if the blade jumped a little at the start of the cut and gouged or scratched part of the pipe where a fitting has to be glued on, Will that be unacceptable to glue and create a bad glue joint ? It’s some shallow gouging about 1/8 inch wide near the end of the pipe on the top of the pipe. I had to cut it under a vanity for a new p trap. Was hard to get started with the cut. Not sure if I should buy a ratchet cutter and re do or glue what I’ve got to the p trap adapter
I was wondering if I can use just the clear cement without using the primer. I need it for a project that uses non water pressure. I just need the tube to not leak while it is holding water.
yes nice marking with the sharpie i definitely need to to that well i already do it on the black abs but i only use a pencil lol i should buy a white marker or something thanks for the video
Primer is used to soften the material so it welds the pieces rather than a joint like tape. It could be included in the glue but it would take too long for the joints to dry. Its purple because union inspectors needed an indicator it was being used.
Painting it will help block UV rays which will yellow and break down the PVC pipe over time. The PVC pipe will also become brittle and can more easily crack. However, you don't need to paint it and you should get many good years as-is.
I never used primer and always used up cement even when jelly like. I also firmly joined sections but never held for 30 seconds. I would turn pieces a little. Results after thousands of jobs? Never a problem. Where? On yard sprinklers including tapping water main and assemblying manifolds. Also did same thing in installing soft water systems. But if I ever join PVC again I will follow and do as this fellow has done.
Good advice. Like marking the joints. What should I do if the two pieces dont come together all the way? They don't seat right. Should I sand the pipe down or will that cause a leak ?
You should chamfer the outer edge to help pushing the pipe into the fitting. And you should chamfer the inner edge to ensure a smooth tradition so that nothing gets stuck on a slight lip.
hey sweet video man! im trying to make stickshape of a human figure (for a halloween prop) out of pvc pipes and i seen in your video you had the same pvc pack i had. Is it possible to just use the jelly on the pieces i would like glued together or do i need to use the purple primer? im assuming the primer is going to act like a protective layer over the pvc pipes.
TheExenteration are you trying to avoid getting the purple color on all your pipe joins? The purple primer allows the PVC cement to create heat and weld the pipe and fitting together. However, for your particular project you should be fine erecting a skeleton just using PVC cement to connect the pipes and fittings together. Good luck!
My father always told me it was best to let the primer dry before you add the cement (it dries quickly). It appears you do this too. But I thought I read the instructions on the can and it says it add the cement before the primer dries. Which is best?
Prime fitting liberally, then prime pipe. Repeat 2 to 3 times, then while primer is still wet apply a coat of cement to the pipe and without re dipping to the female.
when you connect your pvc pipe to lets say a union, do you push it all the way in (which is about 1 1/2) until it hits the step of the union? or can you just push you pvc pipe in 1/2 inch or so? because it seems like a pain in the ass trying to push hits the step.
You need to fully push the pipe into the fitting so that it bottoms out. The less you push the pipe into the fitting, the less surface area you have to weld together, and you could experience a failure prematurely. Also, if you needed to get the work inspected and they caught that the pipe fully seated into the fitting, the inspector should require you to redo the work.
I see you didn't chamfer the ends of your pipe. This is best practice so they match the angle inside the fittings. If you don't there will be rough edges that can snag stuff and cause a clog. Its not a huge deal, but it is best if you do.
The pipe should be chamfered so that you don’t push all the cement out of the fitting with the sharp edge. I usually use a sharp utility knife to knock the edge off.
@@TomTheTechnician Thats not really why, but it is still proper to do, I'm not talking about deburring the outside you can't remove enough material with a knife, I use a router with a 45 deg bit, but they make other tools as well. The chamfer needs to be all the way to the inside diameter so when glued there is no ring left where the end of the pipe meets the fitting. It is equally important to deburr the inside as well so there arent snags, but that is a very light cut. You should apply glue to both halves anyway so both sides have adhesion anyway.
@@integr8er66 you are probably right… but I know that if the outer edge isn’t knocked off at all and the pipe isn’t inserted perfectly straight, it will strip a layer of the primer softened pvc from the fitting, which can restrict the flow and increase the probability of a leak.
I have a laundry tub/sink drain that came loose at one joint. Is it necessary to do the quarter turn? I don't think that'll be possible for this repair, without taking the whole thing apart.... I just want to do that one joint.
Khechari given your circumstances, you should be able to get away without performing the quarter turn when pushing the pipe into the fitting. As long as you are able thoroughly prime and cement your the pipe and fitting, as well as securely push and hold them together for 60 second, you shouldn’t experience any leaks or failures. Just pay extra attention to your new connection to ensure there are no leaks the first few times you run water down the drain. You could even put a stop in the drain, fill the sink, and then pull the stop to stress test the new pipe and fitting connection with a heavy flow of water to verify you are leak free.
Should the primer still be a little wet, or can you let that dry on before you rub on the cement? Related, I saw the purple primer was getting on the cement brush, and then you were obviously sticking that back into the cement can. Does that small amount of primer in the cement can ruin the cement for future use?
I use heavy bodied clear glue for most of my pool plumbing due to the fact that there is alot of pressure and it looks cleaner than the blue or gray glue.
You’re pretty lucky to be able to dry fit that assembly without it binding up. Did you sand it first? Also you can use your sharpie to number the pieces as well.
I just had a look at the Oatey cement directions on the can and it does indeed state that you should first apply cement to the pipe, then apply a small amount of cement to the fitting, followed by a second coat of cement to the pipe before inserting the pipe into the fitting.
Is it true that the primer must dry before applying cement to pvc when used in high pressure systems and/or exposed to cold ? Are there any other situations where the primer must dry prior to cementing ?
One should apply the cement immediately after applying the primer, according to the instructions. Basically the primer should still be wet. However, I've read mixed reviews on this, but the instructions state it shouldn't dry. Also, I applied some primer to the edges to ensure a good bond as the cement will pool a little at the edge as you push and twist the fitting in the female end.
If it is just regular PVC ( polyvinyl chloride) you don't need anything since PVC is only approved for drain lines and will not be operated on under much pressure. if you are using CPVC however (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, which is approved for water lines) and you are using it for water lines you will need to use teflon tape if they are threaded fittings. hope this helps:)
@@joshuastarcher4272 Are you referring to a "no hub coupling", like Fernco? If yes, correct, you should not use primer and cement on the PVC pipe and no hub coupling joint. A no hub coupling uses a mechanical bond by tightening metal straps to compress the rubber hub around your PVC pipe.
Hi what side pvc pipe is that? Also what is the connection called if you want to connect two of the same pvc pipes of the same size? Is that a coupler?
NC Vman I’m using 1.5” pvc pipe, two 1.5” 90 degree hubs, 1.5” to 1” reducer, and a 1.5” sanitary tee. If you are just trying to join two pipes in a straight line, you would use a coupling.
Brave Heart ! You will want to avoid putting the cement (glue) on too thick as it can cause pooling inside the joints. At the same time you don’t want to put on too little either. Just try not get too much cement in the fitting as that will cause pooling inside the joint. If you put a bit too much on the pipe, that will pool outside the fitting and you can quickly wipe off the excess with a clean rag before it fully cures.
Damon Delgado that stuff is so potent haha. I ended up buying a P100 respirator since I was doing this work in the basement which isn’t that well ventilated
Little fast when priming, seen a video before, where told to take little more time to prime instead of 2 seconds eCh side, more like 10 to 15 seconds to prime each side.

The idea of using a sharpie/marker to align the directions is brilliant
Thanks for explaining that once it gets jelly is no good anymore
Also make sure to be safe and use either rubber or nitrile gloves. NEVER use latex gloves as primer and glue can possibly "melt" the gloves to your hand. Safety first!
Damon Delgado this is a good tip. Thanks for sharing!
I don't think I have ever seen a plumber wear gloves while applying primer
Thanks Brainy Smurf
Thank you. I was gonna use latex gloves before I saw the comment

Many thanks for the Video guide! Allowed me to fix a vent pipe for a high effecenty Furnace that came appart earlier this year
Thanks bro, quick, simple, straight to the point... Very informative while moving briskly threw the task...💯
You definitely want to be quicker then that, the primer needs to be wet still when using the glue. They need to be able to react to each other
Thanks Erik, that was helpful especially great idea about marking the lines.

You must use primer it softens the pvc allowing for a bonding type seal

I can smell this video as I watch it
Ong it smells like Tacos de Lengua
Mark the top of the cement can and cleaner/primer can (in case you use clear) so you don't put them into the wrong containers.
GOOD OBSERVATION AND VERY GOOD TIP
I bought Oatey medium orange cement (for CPVC) by mistake for my PVC sink drain. I used it, do I need to re-do it or do you think it will be OK?
yes nice marking with the sharpie i definitely need to to that well i already do it on the black abs but i only use a pencil lol i should buy a white marker or something thanks for the video
Sharpie idea is good
I would take a photo shot of a fairly complex repair, just to be sure.
Kelly Keefe that is certainly a good idea with almost anything that is complex (e.g. electrical wiring).
Primer is used to soften the material so it welds the pieces rather than a joint like tape. It could be included in the glue but it would take too long for the joints to dry. Its purple because union inspectors needed an indicator it was being used.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Superb. Thanks.
Thanks for submitting this video. I will use this soon so it was helpful. If I am using pvc outside in the garden should I paint it?
Painting it will help block UV rays which will yellow and break down the PVC pipe over time. The PVC pipe will also become brittle and can more easily crack. However, you don't need to paint it and you should get many good years as-is.
Sounds like painting it would be a good idea! Thanks, Erik Asquith!
You can But that will make repairs difficult.
Can you use CPVC cement for PVC furniture grade?
if you read the primer can it says not to let the primer dry. put glue on immediately.

Thanks I was just starting out and thinking the same thing. Appreciate the question and answer
Good stuff, thanks pal.
You're welcome. Glad you found this video helpful.
Please look into strength tests of pvc with/without primer.
Just because code/manufacturer says to do something doesn't mean it's good.
The thickness of the glue depends on if the cement is heavy bodied or medium bodied or light bodied
I use heavy bodied clear glue for most of my pool plumbing due to the fact that there is alot of pressure and it looks cleaner than the blue or gray glue.
Brilliant
I just purchased the same Oatey kit. Can't get the lids of either can???????????????
So its ok to let the primer dry?
Thank you
You’re pretty lucky to be able to dry fit that assembly without it binding up. Did you sand it first? Also you can use your sharpie to number the pieces as well.
Oatey recommends two coats of cement one after the other and the first one while the primer is still wet ...I just saw their video

xtra cement seem like common sence as xtra stability, but is the primer suppose to dry first or applied while wet?
While still wet
Is it true that the primer must dry before applying cement to pvc when used in high pressure systems and/or exposed to cold ? Are there any other situations where the primer must dry prior to cementing ?
No. In fact, the cement should be applied immediately while the primer is still wet
My thing is how can you test fit when they won’t slide all the way in and if you do it seems to not come apart or do i just need to man up lol
I can’t stop crying 😢❤
Can this same application be used to glue pvc to metal plumbing?
The best bet is to use a Shark Bite for metal to plastic applications.
how Tee of upvc pipe replace?
How long can the primer remain on the pipe prior to applying cement?
Why are you applying primer to the edges?
One should apply the cement immediately after applying the primer, according to the instructions. Basically the primer should still be wet. However, I've read mixed reviews on this, but the instructions state it shouldn't dry. Also, I applied some primer to the edges to ensure a good bond as the cement will pool a little at the edge as you push and twist the fitting in the female end.

both

@@ErikAsquith thanks. 👍
Is the pipe ready for use right away? Or should I let it cure a few hours before running water through it?
In drain lines its ready in a few min, on pressure its best to wait an hour or so
How do you prevent the glue from squeezing inside the pipe when joining

Shouldn't the primer be wet when applying the cement?
Yes, you should apply the cement immediately after applying the primer and avoid letting the primer dry.
will it seal if u can't do the twisting motion?
oh yeah, in fact it will seal really quick,,,,you only got a few seconds
