PVC Brands
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2007 9:23 pm
Hey
I brought some pvc pipe which is one brand. I then got some more pvc fittings for that pipe from a different shop and they are a different brand. My concern is that is it safe to do this and use the same primer and glue for both brands and can i glue the 2 brands pipes together? They are all pressure rated parts of PN12 and up and all fit correctly into their respective sockets.
I know they are both PVC (polyvinyl chloride) but i know additives are needed to make pvc usable for these pipes. I'm not sure if they use different additives and if this means i must use different glue.
Thanks
