I was fitting 3” sch 40 pipe in a awkward spot the other day. I didn’t get the pipe to fully seat in the socket. You can see my pencil mark on the pipe. Anyone see an issue with this. We might pressure test @ 5 psi but I have to continue building off this line.

I can't see the pencil mark. How far is it pushed in?
It’s shy about a heavy 1/8th. I marked 1-1/2”.. I attempted it twice actually. First time was worse, yanked it out quick enough, reapplied a little primer/glue and went back after it. There was bridging block between the f/j in the way, that I didn’t want to remove. Ended up removing the block anyway after all that. It’s seated about 1-3/8 - 5/16ish

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
