Most parts will have an ID number on them.
PVC glue no grease. Heat and use glue as lubricant
Yep
Great information! So, you don't glue those barbed couplings? You just clamp them on? Also, that barbed fitting looks like the ABS fittings from Home Depot. Will those work on a hot tube?
Thanks!
it all depends on the type of manifold. The barbed ones you can glue or not and the manifolds that "slip on" glue those and clamp. The (gray) barb coupling fitting I used in the video are PEX. I try and use the white nylon when I can. I have other videos where I do glue the barb couplings. It all depends.
Our hot tub has barbed manifolds with the clear tubing glued on. One tube did not get pushed all they way on when built and has developed a small leak right where the tube edge meets the manifold. Is it possible to fix that one spot or would we have to cut each tube off and replace that whole manifold piece? (Luckily it is an end manifold piece with only 4 tubes coming off of it, not one of the larger ones with 8 tubes.)
cut the one tube back about a foot (if you have that room) use a knife to cut the piece off the barbed end. Your going to need a "straight" barbed fitting and tube the same size. 2 clamps on the coupling and one at the barbed manifold.
Thank you for the reply! We have room to cut the tube a foot back...as for the piece that remains attached to the manifold, if we slice that off, will the blue glue scrape off that barbed piece? I’m assuming we’ll need to get that old glue off, yes? Then we can attached the new piece.
@@debbiewilliams968 scrape some off but its not a big deal anyway. It will still go on. use a heat gun to soften it up a little and some glue to slip it on better. then clamp it.
Thank you so much!
Last question…do we also apply glue to the straight barbed fitting? Thank you!
