A few daze ago I was removing a Jasmine vine and trellis that was getting to the point of no repair, up against the front of the house, and so it was covering the water line into the house, I had replaced it sometime in '98, so it was all CPVC after the stop....and I broke the line, so I fixed it....woopie doo....

hardly worth a post by itself.....


But just now I get a mailing from Sunshine811 including a full color brochure on.....

A nice slice of irony to go with your busted azz pipe. :Jeff '79:

Nice to have 'er all fixed up. Install a coupling or did you replace the section?

Still have mucho left over CPVC piping elbows, and pieces, so got lucky to find it all out in a bucket.....not even a trip to the store.....:seasix::hurray:

it glues up easy, just cut out the bad elbow section, and glue in the new elbow....plumbing is easy, just remember that shit flows down hill....and to not trap your shit.....:issues:

Gene, I ran a 16" PVC vent pipe off the top of a vessel many years ago. We cut the shit with a wood circular saw, and applied the cleaner and cement with a paint roller.

That PVC cement sets up fast, too. Best to position first, glue once.

HEHE....they do that even on smaller shit.....PVC 4" DWV for instance....even 2" drains....

This house is all glued on the plumbing, the new shark bite fittings not around when I did this, ....back in '98.... :seasix:

NOT a fan of mechanical joints. But I've been welding since I was 21 years old. :lol:

Glue welding or sparky??? I got a buddy who is now about ~45 y/o that I met over wearing Pontiac Oakland Club International T shirts at the local cruise nite......he is a welder member of the pipe fitters/boilermakers? union, impressive operation going on down at the union hell, what was all the tests/training/certs being done.....Johnny picked it up from Navy training decades ago....

He has a nice TIG machine he is the craftsman doing all the custom shit on my car, without HIM, much of my highly custom '72 vert would not be done....everything from custom grill to chassis/frame to repairs on accessory drives, to you name it......including heavy modifications to an LT1 induction to include the HEI on back mounted on my L98 engine....go figger....:seasix::hurray:
