Video: How to Glue PVC Pipes
Gary Wentz, an editor for Family Handyman, will show you how to glue PVC pipes to get a fast, leak-free seal.
Make Square Cuts for Strong PVC Joints
- Make an improvised guide by screwing together scraps of 2×4.
- Saw using a handsaw with a blade that’s 3 or 4 inches wide.
- Note: Square pipe ends fit snugly into the fittings, allowing plenty of contact area for the solvent cement to work. They also make a smoother interior surface for better water flow.
- Pro tip: Special saws for cutting plastic pipe are a worthwhile investment if you do much plumbing work. You’ll find them in the plumbing tool area or with the handsaws in most home centers and hardware stores. Otherwise, any fine tooth saw will work.
