SRC Member zorden Posted March 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 9, 2006 Pipes contractor... just buy the pipes...can liao..and buy your own cutter.....that should be alot cheaper than engaging someone to your house to do the piping for you...at a cost.. unless u mean "METAL piping" Quote I am just an average FR (fish reefing) writer.

SRC Member arcanehacker Posted March 10, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yeah.. good glue and silicon for PVC to PVC connection is good enough.. but like for my case, for PVC to check valve and PVC to control valve connections, I epoxy the damn thing..

nkh Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Is there any specific pipe cutter to buy and those to avoid buying? just buy any1 from hardware shop. I bought from a very old shop, cost around S$14. Its a breeze to cut PVC and those rubberhose. U will appreciate how conveinet it is and how clean the cut is. Sawing PVC is another way, but imagine u got so many to cut and re-cut. Nightmare. And as for glue, just ask them for PVC glue. The can, they show u will indicate PVC glue on them.

nkh Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 joining them is oso ok, bit if ur piping is to handle high water pressure safer to glue them up. Once glue its permanent, u will need to change new one if u decided to change the piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
