getting apart glued pvc

doody · 02-21-2006, 10:38 PM

I probably got enough pvc in my garage to do all the plumbing on my 125 when I'm ready. Prob is that most og it is glued to each other with pvc cement. Is there any way to get this stuff apart. Man, this could save me some $$$.

Yes. Use a saw to cut off the joints. There is no way to dissolve the glue and have the disconnected pieces still in a usable state.

I think in this hobby the practice of getting multiple opinions is absolutely essential! There are some that express opinions as if they were hard facts and indisputable... until you read or hear someone else's viewpoint or experience.
