necessary to solvent weld sprinkler valves?

by milty » Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:43 am

First post

when you are attatching sprinkler valves, do you need to solvent weld them to the pvc?

Last post

Lots of brands have slip joints. (that means you solvent weld them to the outside of the pipe) Sometimes they charge a bit extra, but typicaly not.
