I made a PVC joint in between a 3'' 45 degree elbow and a piece of pipe where I'm reasonable sure that the pipe is only about 3/4'' into the socket. The parts were primed and I believe there was a sufficient amount of glue involved. The location made it tough to get leverage and I just didn't get it together all the way.
It doesn't leak in use, but it hasn't been filled up all the way with water, either. Because of where it is and how everything fits together, it would be a pain to redo, but if I'm going to, now would be the time. Opinions?
Also - when fitting PVC into existing plumbing, and it isn't possible to get things perfectly aligned before gluing, is there any rule of thumb on how much of an angle between fittings can be before gluing? Or is it basically that if you don't have room to put the parts together perfectly straight, you should use a repair coupling, such as a Proflex.
Thanks in advance.
