i saw a video of some 3/4" flowguard CPVC bursting with like some crazy amount of pressurized water. I think the pipe was rated for a few hundred psi but it actually burst in like the thousands (I wanna say 1400 or 1700, maybe 14,000). It was actually boring, it split lengthwise and was more like a ...

I wouldnt use it for anything period. Nothing at all. Use the Sch-40. It is better than having it blow up in your face.

And Nichoai you do know that the 220PSI is the working pressure and not the bursting pressure right?

omg are u serious? i never knew that....lol..... [sarcasim]

i was simply ...

I was wandering if anyone knows how much pressure 4" pvc can hold.

Solid sch 40 is 220 psi water at 70 something deg. that is most common at hardware stores.

shouldnt use more than 100 psi air in PVC for safety.

the question is, how high is too high of a pressure when you drop it? Is it going ...

ive cut tees in half and hose clamped. 1" and 3/4" but i like 1" the best

so use two pipe saddles.... not that complicated

Im thinking this is sort of like the handle you want, except this is half of the handle. I suppose you want the whole thing to make a handle then simply use two saddles and connect via pipe and 2 90 deg ...

why dont you just get a saddle tee, glue it into place and then use hose clamps if needed.

its been done plenty of times before dude. Joel has probably sold dozens, if not hundreds of them

dude just drill/tap through two layers of pipe on the fitting overlap.

clear or not its safer than drilling into a POS cleanout cap any day.

Dont be so worried about blowing it up because its clear and a tad different than type I or II PVC. Its still pressure rated and you will never generate ...

wtf how u gonna get ignition into it? cleanout cap lol?

well, Clear pvc has a lower pressure rating (lower tensile strength I think) and is not UV stabilized typically. It has been done before many times and is accepted to be "safe" if you follow the correct steps according to drilling and tapping.

To be on the safe side simply put screws, 12v leads for ...

yeah those are pretty common at home cheapo (or at least a coupling and flush bushing)

ive never seen a video of this thing in action, i wonder if it actually works...

cement is nothing more than primer and a few added glue fillers to help bond the pvc.

alcohol cant be concentrated, alcohol is alcohol, the difference is how much water it has in it. 100% alcohol = 200 proof.

And im 90% sure primer is not simply alcohol, while it does have some in it to help clean the pvc, it is not a strong enough solvent to actually soften the pipe.

maybe leave both templates up for the users to choose?
