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 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.
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 😂
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.
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
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
Primer cleans and chemically softens the pvc to then be welded by the glue. This chemical softening is why the manufacturer states that after using the primer glue should be applied immediately while the primer is still wet. Great question!
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.⤵️
I like this guy! Right to the point. Nothing fancy, just good, clear info!
You’re an honorary dad in my book, for teaching me so much about these types of things
Thanks for the kind remarks and thanks for watching!
I’m 25yrs plus in business. Your video is short but direct. Good job.
Anyone got unintentional ASMR when adding the glue and primer?
This vid did perfect 🥂!!

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.
Glad you were able to get value from the video!
Wait time depends on the brand (like Othey) and the temperature outside where you are working. Colder temperature requires a longer wait time.
Great, simple explanation, to the point.. and I liked when you say "why" you do something.. helps to remember the concept.
Yup watched video then got ready then watched video then glued pipe in place very helpful reminder of basics it's been awhile
Right on! We all need a refresher now and then.
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.
(cure time is dependent on three factors type of glue, temperature, and size of pipe)
To the point, good job. 10/10

Very clear and concise video. I feel much better about tackling my first PVC job!
Just take your time and follow the easy steps! Good luck with your project!
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!
You had me at .." It can even cause a clog!"
Just what I needed! Thank you
Great tips, thank you Sir! 👍
Wonderful tips and excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for the easy to understand tips and steps
Thanks for watching!
Never thought of beveling ! Thanks Mr. Fred!
Thanks
the best of the best
Amazing Game!
Professional
Wiping the glue is important it avoids a pinhole leak.
Great video brother thats good stuff bro thanks buddy
Thanks man!
Thanks!
I’m glad I could help!
Thanks for the tips much appreciated just saying
Thank you!
Thank you sir 🙏.

Long time follower first time caller mr. Fred
Glad to have you with us!
Does this guy remind anyone else of Ted Williams?
Good stuff thx
Thanks for the kind remarks!

Why did you dont use the cleaner pvc before primer?
Kuphal Hollow
How long to you let the primer set/dry before you can apply glue?
30 seconds or so. The primer chemically softens the pvc to receive the glue and bond better.
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
I have heard of people heating pvc enough to bend it for plumbing but It’s not something that I would personally try.
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.
Well, you can always dig more of the dirt out to create space lol
@@punditjudgement Yeah...that's where the "not so easy" part comes in.
I little trick I came up with is to bend the glue brush 90 degrees, it gets your hand out of the way for tight spaces.
Is primer and cleaner the same?
Primer cleans and chemically softens the pvc to then be welded by the glue. This chemical softening is why the manufacturer states that after using the primer glue should be applied immediately while the primer is still wet. Great question!
How do you do it correctly - not "correctly?"
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
