In response to Re: gluing PVC pipes
: : New brass gate valve leaks past the gate (small amount)thus the downstream gluing of PVC fittings is unsuccessful due to the flowing water through the pipes and fittings to be glued. : : any help/advice will be appreciated. well pvc glue dries pretty quickly. see if you cant beat the leak. stick a rag into the pipe and see if you cant get the pvc joint to dry before the leak soaks through the rag. just make sure you can get the rag out again or you got a whole new problem
