    repair pvc supply line immediately after pvb?

    Fixed! As I was connecting the last piece I realized that I probably should have replaced the other ball valve too. This afternoon, I checked it and saw a very slow, tiny drip, more of a slow ooze, at the connection between the outlet ball valve and the PVB. It's slow enough that I...

    Right, that's the piece I meant. I guess I just couldn't find it at lowe's.

    No inspections here, either. Didn't even know that there were places that had to have them inspected. Thanks to everyone who has advised me. I cut off the busted piece of PVC today and made a dry fit of everything before I glued it all together, and it looks like it will still have some pulling...

    repair pvc supply line immediately after pvb?

    I thought that sounded wrong. That's what the guy at Lowe's told me I had to do! Glad I checked here first. Anyway, HD didn't have the street elbow (they've never heard of it), but Lowe's did. Before I do it, is there any way for me to replace most of the PVC with copper? Copper male thread...

    How do I reconnect the valve to the pvc? The threads on the pvc, which are male, are damaged. Is there a union or something I can use to screw into the valve and then go over the busted pvc thread?

    repair pvc supply line immediately after pvb?

    I noticed a leak coming from the outflow ball valve of my pvb leading to the pvc pipe that goes to the valve box. I tried to unscrew it, and when it came off, it was broken. The male adapter threads of the pvc are now in the copper ball joint thread, and I have a busted pvc pipe leading to the...
