Well it depends on the size. Look up the size in this chart and then the Sch 40 pipe rating. That will be the rating for the fittings as well: flexpvc.com/Reference/FullPVCPipeChart.shtml

sure. see flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=Flex_PVC_OVERPIPE-ByTheFoot That will do exactly what you are trying to do. NOTE: 2" pipe is 2.375" OD. If your pipe is 1.900" OD you don't have 2" pipe you have 1.5" pipe. So be sure to measure your pipe accurately. Or you can read the size directly off the pipe if you can see the printing on it.

You mean 2" hose that goes over 2" pipe that is 6" long right? sure. see flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=Flex_PVC_OVERPIPE-ByTheFoot That will do exactly what you are trying to do.

@@FlexPVC hank you for your help...would your piece be able to slip "over" the 2in pvc which is about 2 3/8 and be able to be clamped I have tried a 2in flexiable(rubber) Silicone Straight Coupler Hose 2" Turbo Intercooler 57mm Pipe With T Bolt Clamp would not fit Your piece doesn't look smooth on the outside to be able to clamp it or s that just the appearance it gives A 2in PVC is 2 3/8 OD Im sure your aware of that.. then a 2 1/2 would fit better over the pvc 2in pipe correct to clamp? this os for high pressure hot tub

@@garyredmond9275 Yes, thats the link I gave: flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?p=Flex_PVC_OVERPIPE-ByTheFoot&p_id=124PS238&xm=on&ppinc=detail

Are you asking to use 2" flexible pipe that is 6" long or 6" flexible pipe that is ??? long? Also what is the offset needed? This type of question is best sent directly to us. Please see:flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml

It shows Okay for Propane. But I will have to get with engineering to confirm Natural Gas is okay. Please use our contact form to send us your question directly for the fastest response: flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml

Thank you for responding. I will send a message via your forms. I am trying ti create a natural gas hook up and many people use a nitrile rubber hose, but I can't seem to find a supplier, but I've read in the plastic compatibility chart that pvc is a good resister to natural gas. I just don't know if the glued connectors will price vent gas leaks. Looking for 1in pipe to have a 3/4 npt brass fittings on the end.

sure. see flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=Flex_PVC_OVERPIPE-ByTheFoot That will do exactly what you are trying to do. NOTE: 2" pipe is 2.375" OD.

@@FlexPVC i think u replied to the wrong comment

Glad it was helpful!

Much appreciated!

Actually you are looking for Class 63, 125, 100, 160, 200. In some areas of the country they call it SDR21 or SDR41 or even SDR32.5. You must be very careful. There are many standards out there and there is also SDR35 which is a complete different pipe. Not cross compatible with IPS Pipe sizes (Sch 40, 80, 120, Class 63, 125, 100, 160, 200, etc.) Almost all the pipe sizes and classes are listed on our pipe size and dimensions chart at flexpvc.com/Reference/FullPVCPipeChart.shtml

447-010 for 1" caps. For all caps please see: flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?p=PVC-Fittings-Caps-Sch40-Slip&xm=on Thanks

Hog clips have sharp edges. Thanks for the suggestion.

JMHO, bushing.

Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

Permanent???? Maybe. If you guy wire it, yes. If you don't and there is a lot wind or your antenna has a lot of cross section, no.

Thanks much. Glad we could help. :-)

If you are going from a 3" pipe (3.5" OD) to a 2.5" pipe (2.900" OD) then you use a reducing couple: flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?p=PVC-Fittings-Couples-Reducing&p_id=429-339&xm=on&ppinc=detail If you need more info, please contact us by email or phone:flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml Thank you! 🙂

Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of room to work with. I have a 3” 90 degree elbow going almost directly to a 2.5” 3 port valve. I can reduce before the elbow but that would increase the velocity going into the elbow which would increase the head loss. Is that correct?

If your valve is like ours it's 2" slip in or 2.5" spigot. Or 2.5" slip in or 3" spigot. see flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?p=PVC-Valves-3way-Diverter&p_id=600-0401&xm=on&ppinc=detail If yours is like that you can just chop it off and use a couple to go over it. Best to send us a picture of what you have via our contact page: flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml @@Npb55

Sorry. A nested fitting is "spigot size" on the outside and "fitting size" on the inside. Ie, a pipe would go into the inside or you can insert/glue it into the next size up fitting. Typical is 3/4" and 1". The 1" is a spigot size (1.3125" OD) and the inside is a 3/4" slip (1.05" ID.) HTH. Thanks for the question.

Yea, that's nice and everything but that is not the topic of this video. It would be better if you made your own content and posted it there.

If you can dry it out completely 3M 5200 might fix that.

Well that would depend on what you mean by "flexible pvc joiner." I'm not aware of any such product. And a Union is something that is 3 parts. Two tail pieces and a collar. It's meant to be used to connect and disconnect easily. Flexible pvc pipe is meant to be glued into something like a union. Might be best to contact us directly on this question. Please use flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml or call us at 1 888 782 3539 M-F, 10am to 4pm PST. Thank you.

@@FlexPVC Thank you, and I am talking about a Fernco Flexible PVC Coupling at Home Depot with SKU 687944. Do you think that will sustain the water pressure. Thank you so much for answering.

Hi, the Fernco web site says that it can only take up to 4.5 PSI, so no deal here. Thank you so much again.

Sorry a Fernco would not work. It only holds very little pressure. Best thing to use is unions that glue on to the flexpvc. see flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=PVC-Fittings-Unions-China Thanks!@@danle2884

Maybe. It would depend on how you implement it. The best thing to do is contact us directly via our website: flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml and be sure to upload a drawing or two of how you plan to do it. Thanks

Sorry they are not. If you don't tighten them they will fall out.

@@FlexPVC so would adding a “compressed button” (sorry forget official name), I assume that would keep them in place?

I don't know what a compression button is, but if you are talking about something that that goes on the end of the pipe and sticks out, maybe, but there is not a lot of room for that. @@lovetennisevents

@@FlexPVC Hi, I am referring to Steel Spring Buttons (official name)

Yes, but we currently don't have them for these fittings. I'm sorry.@@lovetennisevents

Yes, as long as it's PVC pipe, not the poly pipe/tubing.

Yes, either of those will work well. Be sure to use primer first.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how much room you have. Doglegs usually work better. see flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=PVC-Fittings-DogLegs Thanks

Yes and no. If it's buried you would be okay. But if it's exposed there is an issue: Over time, sewer gases will permeate thru the pipe. 2-5 years and then you will small sewer smell. If there is only a short section of pipe exposed, it should not be a problem, but it's something you have to consider.

I'd need more info to answer that. You can email us at flexpvc.com/Contact.shtml or call 1 888 782 3539 M-F, 10am to 4pm PST. Thanks

Thanks for the very kind recommendation. Sorry to hear of all the issues. Glad we could offer some help. :-)

We still have them at reasonable prices and ship to Canada daily. :-) flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?product=PVC-Fittings-Unions-China

That means there is a crack in the pipe. Same method will work for a temp. fix, but if you have a cracked pipe, it's best to cut it out and replace it. But you can use this method to buy you some time. See our other video on this subject. czcams.com/video/zUagwOZkGCw/video.html

If it's leading it's either the O-ring or the glue joint. The O-ring is the easiest to check and fix. So I'd look there first.

Thank you. I admit teflon tape is less messy and the cans never dry out, but I still think pipe dope is a better way to join NPT fittings. 🙂

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Study carefully, how the BFP is configured and installed; most often, male threaded ends join to some ball valve closure at each side, and the female threaded ends are joined to some male connectors which are soldered, or cemented to the pipes. When the most common failure occurs, freeze cracking of the valve near the ball, there is no way to easily remove just the valve, because trying to rotate to remove is prevented by the other end. You should appreciate that someone added that union, because that will let you separate that end, and even if the other end is threaded you likely can rotate the unit to remove the assembly and replace separate components without any cutting, de- or re-soldering, gluing, etc.

Yep, love unions. Just a little extra money now to save a lot of headaches and money later.
