Welcome to this plumberparts.co.uk video. Today we’re just going to talk very quickly about solvent weld fittings for PVC pipe
and how they work.
So here we have a straight solvent weld fitting here. Now we’ve got a 1/4 inch bit of pipe. Now the pipe will fit inside this nice and happily, but to make it watertight we need to glue it in using some solvent weld glue. A tub of solvent weld glue will usually cost you between £8 and £10 but will last you ages, so it’s well worth the investment and works really really well and creates a watertight seal pretty much 99% of the time. Let’s have a look at how you use it. Right, so every time you open one of the caps on this you have a little paintbrush on the end. We draw a little bit of glue around the outside of the fitting, just like that. Get our other fitting like this, and just push that on there like so. If you leave that for a few seconds, you will soon find that it’s virtually impossible to move and it’s completely sealed. So there you go, it is really simple, solvent weld PVC fittings are very easy to install and put together, and their success rate at no leaks is really really high.
