I do nt think it would seal right
its just too loose

Dammit, every youtube video i'v tryed to watch eather comes up no longer available or just stops loading! I can see the begining frame and it looks like a bell reducer in your hand.

As for "glue gap" as in solvent welding, there isn't saposed to be any. The genral idea is to mesh the chemicals to gether so they mix then cure as one piece.

Shhhhhhhh, i'm waiting to hear the comments about useing the bell reducer.

[SpudFarm]

yes that should do nice if you glue it properly...

[Jared Haehnel]

....This is for Jrrdw....

Scott, man, you're using a bell reducer.... not safe no matter how you glue it...

put some screws through the bell and the pipe...

That is a great idea
Im surprised someone didnt think of it before

[scottcrete]

im not using the bell adapter.. im showing you a 3 inch fittting in a 4 inch pipe.. i was going to use a flush reducer. for my fitting...just showing that it fits in the 4 inch pipe.. notice that fitting has a gazillion holes in it..

anyways.. will it work or not?

[SpudFarm]

if you use screws it will

[scottcrete]

so the general consensas is that this will not work? or it will?

[SpudFarm]

i know that PVC has to be quite tight tougheter since it is going to "weld" it tougheter with glue.

just use screws

[OuchProgramme]

so the general consensas is that this will not work? or it will?

UNDER THESE CONDITIONS:

Will work: Use screws

Will not work: If you glued down what you showed in the video.

[Jared Haehnel]

Ok...after watching it a few times...

Scott I think your going to have to do a combination of the both. You said you want it to seal and screws alone won't make it seal good. So use an epoxy. They make one specifically for PVC call Bond&Fill its normally used to glue the PVC siding and trim together it I think it will work well for what you have... Then you screw it as well...

By the way what are to holes for? Is it another Co-axial gun you making?

[scottcrete]

okay nevermind.. plan changed.. will update soon
i bough tthe stuff i need.. i will post is later..
