Hi all,
It seems that every time I use a threaded fitting (PVC or CPVC) I have problems with leakage. The fittings seep around the threads. This occurs when threading PVC to PVC or CPVC to CPVC also when threading to galvanized. What is the proper way to make these connections to prevent this?
When transitioning from PVC to black poly what is the best way to do this? There is a steel transition fitting and a PVC transition fitting. I am trying to get away from fittings that corrode inside and restrict flow. If I use the PVC transition in a suction line and use "hose clamps" to secure it to the poly is there a problem with air tight seal?
My whole house is now CPVC. My well supply line is black poly. I want to replace the lines between the well supply line and the pump with PVC. Currently it is galvanized and I am sure it has closed up and reduced flow. That is why I want to do this.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
