    Are Female PVC Adapters/Couplings Junk?

    Are Female PVC Adapters/Couplings Junk?

    thanks, sounds like i'm in better shape and this should be solid. after having water flooding my basement i just want to make sure it doesn't happen again and this should be reliable!

    there are actually two backflows, one really old one near the wall in my sketch and one coming off the t for the pressure tank. all i got was new pipe as in my picture and a new larger tank for the price. it was an emergency weekend repair which caused it to be a little higher but i feel...

    Pipe movement between well pipe and pressure tank?

    Thanks for the response, a few more questions: 1. I was thinking about installing a few split ring hangers with 3/8" threaded rod to shore up the run that's about 30" away from my wall. Do you see any issues with doing this and would you imagine it would help? When it kicks off, you can see...
