Bell end pvc

Roshe · Feb 26, 2005

Good morning. Just wondering if it matters which way the 'bell' end of the pipe is installed, upstream or downstream. This is 3/4" pvc from the meter to the house. Thanks for comment. Roshe

Doesn't really matter with a water supply line. The PVC primer and glue will chemically "weld" the joint, so it will be sealed permanently. If it were a drain line, the end of the pipe in the bell might tend to snag stuff coming at it, however. (Just my opinion.)

Just a point of reference. PVC S&D sewer pipe fitting are mostly bell ends on all the openings so at least one will always be "against" the flow.
