For piping below the ground, could I glue the ends then quickly assemble it and tighten before the glue sets in order to make sure it's as close together as possible? How much time do I have before the glue sets?

Ooh myy Goodness..i trowed the calcium acetate away, and jused only the water on the top..after i reduced it by half/50%..Great video, thank you!

Best Gel fuel DIY video I've seen so far . Great job and marking the jar with volume sizes for water reduction / evaporation really simplified it . Thanks

So, the thing this guy doesn't mention when gluing the fittings on, is you have to hold that fitting on the pipe for about 15 seconds or the glue will push it back off the pipe. Just so you know.

Simple idea 💡 but quite the job. Thanks

Definitely not the best way to do this job for many reasons.....should have used slip coupling as the preferred connector. The simplest would have been to use a compression coupling. If he had to use a union, should have used solvent welds on the union and reduce points of failure. Must use primer for all connections, important step skipped. Never use Teflon tape on PVC, even the manufacturers will warn you not to do it.

I have four sectors, Sectors 1 an 4 works but 2 & 3 don't work, any clue. Thanks.

And then there's those whom want to put their pipe in cracks! 😂😂😂😂

I knew someone that was real particular about getting all of the crack in the pipe! 😂😂😂

If you have a break in your pipe, just cut out the old section and use a coupler. Don't follow this advice. Seriously dude, why would you suggest people do this?

What happen if theres a 2mm gap between the gasket

Does pvc union nead any wrench to tighten or just hand is only needed for tightening

Well explained, thank you.

Tq for sharing

Thank you so much.

attach your two lines to something so they can't slide around unrealistically....

Clean dirt from the pipe ends, sand rough edges left from cutting, PRIMER. ALWAYS PRIMER. Then correct PVC solvent. That looks like black ABS solvent which is strong as hell but I'm not sure if it holds up over time on pvc. Always match solvent to material. Best practice to use fresh solvent. And Hold the fitting on the end of the pipe for 10 to 20 seconds because the fitting will rise up from being fully seated in place.

Good information people like me . Thanks

How to use a line level is a separate video. If you don't know what a line level and mason's twine are and basically how to use them then you have no business laying sod. If you don't know how to use a ratchet then you're not ready to start doing automotive mechanics. To much info here on the materials and not enough on the method. It makes no sense to dwell upon what is a 12" nail, but then short change the actual process of using them. It would have sufficed to "briefly" state that the nails, mason's twine, and line level are available at your local Lowe's or Home Depot. One sentence not five minutes of elaboration.

This is an old video but that said I always apply my Teflon tape clockwise so that the Teflon tape doesn't possibly loosen up. This works great for me.

I use mostly sch 40, class 315 and 200 have their place and sometimes you need the additional flow, but this guy is right about that Grey thin wall stuff. I agree it is fine if you don't touch it or have rocky soil or whatever but you can't buy fittings for it anymore. You can cram a pvc fitting by using multiple coats of primer but you can't work with it. I always recommend replacing.

Repairs are a pain, but do not use a PVC Pipe cutter on this old class 200 stuff. Use a Multi-tool. It will prevent transmitting cracks. You can then perform the needed repairs.

I have always heard that you put the teflon tape on in a clockwise direction not counterclockwise for right hand threads.

Great video! If you ever need to run a pipe brush back either way, can you take both sides of the union off and will that give you 2 inches between the PVC to run brushes either way to check for pluggage? I'm thinking off doing this for my AC condensate drain line to gain access because they did not put "T" or a cleanout.

All these comments are years ago

Why the fuck was this recommended to me i was just watching Just Roll With It clips Its not like its been randomly recommended to other people either everyone else in the comments actually seemed like they searched this up

Great job!

This is probably extreme overkill for most breaks. You can usually fit a glue on coupling if you have enough exposed pipe and the break is small enough, or you could use a compression coupling if the gap is wider and you don't have a lot of exposed pipe. The connector you use here is more for situations where you would need to remove some of the pipe, like a sprinkler riser, or an AC condensate drain coming from the AC unit.

Hi. What's that black substance you applied prior to applying the coupling and what does it do? I'm gonna DIY my pipe and I'm using this guide how to do so. Thanks.

There are simpler and cheaper ways of coupling. This is an expensive way of doing it.

Oh my god thank you!! Working on a project and been racking my brain all day how to connect two different sized threaded ends. You sparked how to do it at 0:55 ish

Rain bird has a tool to hold the sprinkler up to replace/clean the nozzle and filter

Thanks!

2:14 what is that? a primer or cement?

how far is the valve should from the main line?

Good stright to the point well done

Why didn't you use a PVC slip joint union...reduces the space you need. Also, a union a flow direction, not sure which way your flow is, so I can not comment whether you got it on right or backwards. Also it looks like you use ABS glue, which is different than PVC glue. And finally you put the Teflon tape on backwards.. Maybe you should watch YT vids showing the correct way to install PVC piping before you make a video.

Nice guy, but a few issues here that should be known for people looking to try this. First, if you just get the unions with slip fittings, then you don't need the adapters. You just glue them on and that's it. Does the same thing, with 2 less pieces, which looks cleaner and saves money. And next, people should make sure you use primer first before the cement, and usually black is for concrete. Maybe this is a special one, but double check to make sure what the cement is for, or it could have issues as it might not make the correct bond. And lastly, safety first. Make sure to wear gloves when doing stuff like this. Keep your hands clean and safe.

thoroughly explained thank you

Man how I remember these times like it was yesterday I'm the big Mexican dude in the video... Had great times at this place I hope everyone is doing well... I learned a lot from Chuck and Julie they are great people

Great informative video, thanks!

Thanks for the video very helpful. Doubts: I thought black glue is only for ABS pipe. Suggestion: Put taplon tape in same direction as tightening direction, it would fit properly.

I have the main waterline on the bottom of the hill which shoots up the hill, and the anti siphons at the top. Is that the correct setup? Or does something need to be placed inline at the bottom of the hill? In other words when the anti siphon at the top is off do I need to worry about the pressure in the line going down the hill or does it just remain pressurized and no need to worry about back flow

You put the teflon tape on backwards, among several other errors. That is some crappy info you're giving.

This was very helpful and straight-forward. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining this so eloquently. Thank you! Now I can do some piping work at home. Cheers!

How about you perform this video when the actual line is stationary and not in 2 movable sections like you have. Otherwise just use a slip coupler....

Great explanation!

Hey guys apply the thread tape B4 you glue the components together. Trying to do that in a hole will be a drama.

Thank you so much❤️
