Hey folks,
I was trying to finalize my drain project today and I may have rushed. Now I need to step back and re-evaluate (so much for rushing).
Here is what I have.
The areas highlighted in green were tweaked a bit when I was gluing together. They popped out while I was seating them, so I lost focus on getting everything perfect and they were clocked a tad. See closeups below:
The image on the left is what prompted me to stop and re-evaluate. It is clocked a bit too much to put a 90 on it. The image on the right is clocked a tiny bit and I could probably live with it.
So, I am thinking I have two options.
Option 1 is to just cut the pipe at the ping line and add in a coupling. That should allow me to get the correct orientation.
Option 2 is to cut at the blue line and add a coupling and redo everything to the left to remove all the little inconsistencies.
Is it better to have the coupling on the shorter run (blue line) or the middle of the longer pipe? Or no difference? Will the coupling cause issues, like buildup of crap in the little gap from the coupling?
I read about different ways to possibly try to unglue, the pipes, but I am thinking a cut with coupling is probably the safest?
Also, do I need to worry about the proximity of the wiring to the drains? I am thinking not, but if I do need to worry, this would be the time to fix...
Oh also, on some joints, when I glue, they pop out....I twist, but sometimes they pop....am I using too much glue?
TIA...Mike
