For 200' schedule 80 1" PVC drop pipe, is it better to glue/weld male adapters or to thread the pipe ?
Have seen arguments both ways so a bit confused why there is no simple answer.
Also for threading pvc pipe, can I just use electric threader I got for metal pipe, or I really have to use
a special PVC threader. What is special about it. Any thread cutting lubricant for PVC ?
I think I am going to thread one end of a short pipe and glue a male adapter to the other end and
then put it under increased stress to see which end breaks first and at what load.
