    Pex uses shark bite fittings. Push to connect. It’s great stuff but you will have to get adapter fitting to go from pvc to pex or just buy a stick of pvc pipe.

    I believe @Jubal Early Times may be on to something here. Plenty of YouTube videos out there showing how to make it happen.

    you can put a male adaptor on the PVC then like @Jubal Early Times said go shark bite from there those fittings are a bit pricey but they work great

    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!!

    Stopped at an indigenous Love's 28 miles from target!!!!!

    We have successfully gotten new tire, a new vile of Vetsulin, escaped the mega indigenous population center, and traversed two other indigenous population centers.

    The OM is pleased and has authorized cheeseburgers!!!!!

    What about marker light qualifications for old arn?

    If the marker lights are intergal with the visor or the cab, does this disqualify a truck from being old arn?

    Indeed. A count of ten will usually suffice.

    I did plumbing work for a few pre-trucking years, up to and including replacing some copper with CPVC due to the electrolytic nature of well water and the corrosive effects I’ve seen it have on copper.

    What that technique does is it helps ensure a full coating of the glue and primer on the mating surfaces of the joint. One could possibly debate its necessity, but at the very least it made me feel better. It’s hard to have a leak on a glue joint that way.
