I had to replace a fitting in a tight space and found that to insert the new fitting there was not a lot of clearance to get my glue swab between the (existing pipe) and the replacement fitting hub... I did my best to spread around the cement and think I got it pretty well covered. I was not able to do a full 1/4 rotation after bottoming the pipe. In another instance, it seemed like I was able to rotate a joint slightly after having let it set-up for 15 secs or more.
So... my questions are:
So... my questions are:
- how sensitive is the ABS cement joint regarding both pipe and hub being completely covered w/ cement?
- if a joint still can move even slightly (ie. has play in it) after 15 secs or so does that imply too much cement was used and does the joint need to be redone b/c the movement damaged the set-up?
- if a joint is bad is that something that will show itself during the water test and/or pressure test or do these problems tend to sit dormant for long periods before starting to leak?
