Hey /diy/ new to this board, as well as /fit/, trying to better myself now a days and am fixing things around the house.
I need to remove this top part but I'm not sure if there is a way to take off the old piece and replace it with my new one. Or if I should cut the pipe off at the top and cut again somewhere else to extend it back to its original hight and add my new piece onto the freshly cut part.
Any thoughts, tips, and/or advice would be appreciated. Thanks fellas

That's pvc, right? if it's glued, it's not coming apart, gonna have to get yourself a PVC cutter (or a small sawzall I guess) and cut it.

Cut it back and glue a new piece in

Hacksaws make quick work of it

>Is there pvc pipe glue I should look for ?
Its in the plumbing isle right next to the PVC. Once its on its not coming off

If the total length is important you'll need to add pipe to make up for what you cut off
to do that you need the end part (dropear elbow) a coupler and a short piece of the same size pvc

Yes, there's a brand that comes in a set of two. A cement, and some prepping shit. It also comes in a spray, but the spray sucks. Use whichever.
Also, buy PVC cutters. They're useful for cutting other things after you are done with your PVC project, and do a much, much cleaner cut than a hacksaw. If you have a table saw, a sawzall, or a hacksaw already, disregard.

Op update
It's all set, pipe cut, glue set, and water flowing.
Thanks for the help guys
