Hey /diy/, if I want to glue a PVC pipe to a PVC joint/coupling,

PVC Cement is the correct thing.

You can use CPVC cement on PVC but not the other way around.

If you are using it for water pressure as that pipe wall looks schedule 40 then use PVC cleaner on the joint first. Especially if you are going to bury/conceal/cement the pipe.

You can get a can of pvc cement for like 5 bucks man.

Don't forget to use primer before using PVC glue or your joint might fail down the line

On this note. I've always roughed the mating surfaces a bit before applying anything. Usually a wipe or two with some sand paper. Not sure if it actually helps but I've never had a joint fail

Just get single step cement. Primer is pointless nowadays.

PVC cement contains solvent. No need to increase surface area.

You are supposed to twist the pipe when you insert it into a fitting.

I didn't know about the no primer thing; I always thought part of priming was to clean the surface.

You are correct about the cement though. It actually dissolves some of the PVC and bonds it that way. That's why you get a weak spot if you put too much and it pools up on the pipe. It actually breaks it down. It's not glue.

Twisting is correct.

Primer is necessary if you use glue instead of cement
