Hold your level across the bull end of your fitting and use your plumb bubble to set pitch of your wye. Dry fitting the street 90 does not insure it is sitting correctly in the wye. Also, to all the haters of your priming technique, new IPC codes allow for no primer on non pressurized DWV piping 4" and below. Even so, primed fittings will remain softened for some time after application. Try doing slab work in 100° sun. That primer is dry soon as it hits the pipe. 25 year experience, commercial plumbing foreman here.👍

You then place your primer brush back into your primer can. Then immediately after applying the primer you grab your glue brush and brush the glue on top of the primer on your pipe and the female end of the fitting. You place the glue brush back in glue can. Push the pipe into the fitting until it hits the stop in the fitting and rotate your pipe 180° and you’re done. Jesus I thought this was shit we learned from our pops in 2nd grade.

Old timer lesson: Always clean, prime, and place glue on the female socket first IE: clean socket, then pipe. Prime socket, then pipe, then glue on socket before pipe. This process allows the female fitting (socket) to soften prior to assembling joint. It will make assembly easier and prevent joint failures.

Inserting a 10' piece of 4" PVC into a fitting, put some kind of hook on some kind of rope - I use the long side of an old ratchet strap. Hook the far end of the pipe, and duct tape it so the hook doesn't just fall out. Take the free end of the rope down to the fitting end. Get it primed and glued, shove the pipe into the hole, and pull hard on the rope to seat the pipe in the fitting. It's not as good as having a helper shove from the far end, but when you're alone, it's much better than just trying to pull the pipe into the fitting by grabbing on to it.

It doesn’t matter if he did it perfectly or extremely poorly, but he did NOT glue three sides at once. The purple is primer to clean(not 100% positive on this either*), soften (I believe correct me if wrong), and also it’s just a two part gluing process. The second can is the main bonding agent. I’m still relatively new to pipe fitting and we don’t work with pvc often we do pipe installations, welding fabrication, and pipe demo’s, but one thing I’ve been taught is to twist* the joint back and forth a bit when connecting two pieces and more importantly to hold and press the joint together for a couple seconds before letting off. I don’t know it all by any means whatsoever but the whole “he glued three parts and only attached one” thing is annoying. You can reapply the purple stuff when you’re ready to connect your next joint it don’t go bad within minutes lol

@@davidtaylor9249 the "ketones" in the primer say so. Loosely...the primer helps turn it into a pvc "mush" which, when it rehardens, turns it into one solid piece of pipe. It's called "weld bonding" or "solvent bonding". Ideally, when plumbed correctly, the plumbing in a house will be one solid piece from furthest upstairs toilet to the rubber connection at the citys/townships lateral in the street. Wet primer is the difference of "melting" plastic (pvc) together as opposed to "gluing" it together. Hope that explains.

Not priming pressure pipe will result in joint failure,plus it won't pass inspection.Also the pipe shall be beveled to prevent glue push out.

Stabila! Love them… hey dude primer is only effective for about 45 seconds so only primer fittings that you are going to glue right after. Also its a good habit to primer your fittings first then the pipe. That was if you have to put the first piece down its a fitting that you dont have worry about dirt getting on the fresh primer. Hope this helps Good luck!
@dathvader822 жыл бұрын
It doesn't really matter either way. Because the primer is not seals the pipe it is the glue. So it really doesn't matter. Hope that helps

Just spot fill 2 feet back and make sure you got a quarter bubble then glue your fitting in. It's a win win.

Don't turn after putting on adhesive, it can create leaking connections. Try and mark the fitting before applying adhesive.
@122873ed10 ай бұрын
Wrong…. You need to turn glued fitting about 1/4”as soon as you put it together. What ALOT of people don’t know is when FRESH primer comes in contact with the glue and the PVC….. it creates heat, so as you slowly 1/4 turn that fitting, your joint is now properly sealed. Also don’t let it go for about 10 seconds….. those guys like to pull out, ESPECIALLY 2”. ALWAYS USE ALOT OF GLUE…. Leaks are more expensive than glue…. So glue on my fellow plumbers!!! Been at it for 23 years😉

If I laid pipe in a trench like that, I would be fired. No bedding, full of stones, under a house, with no compacted support? You are not a plumber.

I don’t like to criticize another tradesman, but I was taught, and I believe it to be Code in my State, to roll up the branch of the wye, then roll and adjust the S 90 and level it so the vertical sits in the hub plumb.

You're supposed to prime then immediately glue the fit. The primer not only cleans but is part of the bonding process.

Abs is garbage. Leave it in the sun for ten minutes and it turns into a banana. PVC will always stay straight.
