In order to make a very strange but neccessary PVC drain trap arrangement work I must somehow glue an 1 -1/2" PVC male threaded adapter into
the female end of a regular 1-1/2" PVC T fitting (meantfor glueing with PVC cement). Its a fairly close fit(though obviously not intended for this ). If I fill it with epoxy so it oozes out when the two are joined, will this permanently seal the joint? I need an epoxy that will bond this together permanently and never leak. If I can achieve this it will save me a WHOLE lot of work.
The reason I must do this is because the old PVC trap parts are from a
company that went out of business and new stuff won't thread on. Getting rid of the old is a big job because it is barely accessible and glued on. So I must add on
with a new T which must be epoxy'd on.
Can I count on this staying sealed and what's the best product to use that will bond to PVC and hold up over time for wide joints.
Thanks for your help.
