I purchased a couple lengths of the clear pvc pipe from CDL last year. I’m finally getting around to the project now.
I’m planning on running it from my head tank 1.5” to the evaporator with a tee comming off with a 1/2” clear pipe going up into the rafters to act as a sight gauge for the outside head tank.
I originally planned on just friction fitting them like the old one we had. But what happened with the old one was once it got put together a couple times it constantly leaked.
I’ve got a couple of unions in the design so I can take it all apart at end of year to clean and store away. But I’m hoping to glue it.
I know the pipe is for contact with sap. Just not sure what type of glue to use for it.
Is regular pVC cement ok to use with pvc and sap ?
