That adapter looked like a cpvc adapter and i see you tried to glue cpvc to pvc? and why not just use 3 pvc to pex-b adapters and then make everything out of pex-b?

[@ThatPlumberDude]

It was a PVC adapter. It just looked similar to cpvc coloring. I went with Pex A because of the plastic and flexibility. 🤙🏼

[@jeffreyplumber1975]

if by some oddball chance the fitting was made in a cpvc size on the female glue joint 3/4 cpvc would only 7/8 inch and the od of 3/4 pvc is 3/16 larger at 1 1/16th inch weve all had sloopy and tight fits but I cant think of a reason for it to be that tight if you have more of those fittings check how a 3/4 copper or cpvc pipe fits if you have any they are the same size . if you are curious why the fit is so horrible maybe become an Apollow ambasador LOL I like the fix and throwing some pex in will help nice job !

[@ThatPlumberDude]

Hahaha, that’s funny. Yeah I don’t know why they were such hard fits. Had to have been some sort of manufacturing problem with the batch of fittings. I debured the fitting and it still was super tight.

Always pre lay out and dry fit

[@ThatPlumberDude]

You can’t dryfit Pex A

[@Cameron-ur2tk]

16 minute im like that looks like the 73, sure enough lol. Pvc is garbage especially when it gets old and brittle.

[@ThatPlumberDude]

Lol, it was! I’m on it frequently.

[@JE27898]

Why make such a project out of it mixing 3 different materials

[@ThatPlumberDude]

I didn’t want to put the PVC in the same stressed situation as another leak will develop. Installing the pex allows the tension to be relieved so the joint won’t blow.

[@JE27898]

Installing an expansion loop out of PVC serves the same purpose

[@ThatPlumberDude]

@@JE27898 Yeah swing joints work, but it also brings the waterline closer to the slab and adds additional 90s. I try to avoid that if possible.

[@JE27898]

I get it

[@mechanictaft4848]

What a fkn mess could have spen some time open up more and make it simple

[@ThatPlumberDude]

It didn’t need to be more opened up imo, it was straight forward the way it was. 🤙🏼
