  • I agree with some of the comments made earlier, primer should always be used when gluing PVC and although it doesn't really freeze where you are, a blockage could still occur so you should have a physical air gap in the pipe when it exits the building.

  • Same here i agree with some of the comments,But my dad always tought me to use PurplePrimer

  • Thanks!! If you read this I have a question. My neighbor has wetness wear his sump line runs to the street. Should we dig it up and replace it? Is it probably cracked? Thanks again!!

  • t's usually a good idea to install glue on the pipe and the fitting, not just the pipe

  • use a pvc saw. use primer on your pipe. use anti-freeze airgap. use your brain.

  • Hello and thank you for videos. Three things: Do you not use purple primer? Does it not get below 32 in Charlotte? Are safety glasses not necessary? I didn't hear you say anything about pitch or slope.

  • Mine drains onto my driveway, runs down, collects on the sidewalk, and freezes. I’ve been keeping the sidewalk clear daily, but I finally got a letter giving me 3 days to fix it lol. Maybe I should ask my work to stop making me work overtime, so I can have time to fix it. Haha, yeah right..
