There are different types of 'cap' that are plastic and glued to the drainpipe. If this is under the kitchen sink, and is a 'p' trap, then the plastic nut either side of it will unscrew with a pair of channel lock pliers or a small pipe wrench. If, on the other hand this is a 'cleanout' cap on the end of a drainpipe, then there will be a 'nut' formed into the end of it. Turn this nut with a wrench to remove it. Have shallow bowl or small bucket ready to catch water from this.

What is the hottest water a plastic PVC pipe can withstand?

PVC can take hot water like any other pipe but the reason no one wants to use it on hot water lines is because the glue joints can not take hot water so if your talking about straight pipe then it will be ale to take 212 degrees but if your talking about pipe and glue joints then it will fail around 65 + degrees F . If you want to run hot water in PVC you can use CPVC and the glue joints an pipe can with strand 212 degrees F but after some years as I have seen the pipe gets real brittle and so i always recommend the best called Wirsbo or any class AA pex

How do you clean trane Air conditioning drain lines?

If you're referring to drain lines coming from the drip pan beneath the air handler (the one inside the house), then just take some bleach water and pour it in the drip pan and it'll flow down the pipe and clean. If you're referring to another drain line coming from the machine itself, go ahead and cut off the pipe and replace it with a new pipe. Make sure you know what you're doing. It's PVC pipe, so use appropriate PVC glue and elbow joints. For best results, call your installation professional.

What is the best type of glue to use on warhammer 40k assembly?

In my personal opinion I use a glue called "Zap-a-gap" it works well on both pewter and plastic models, and unlike plastic glue it doesn't melt the plastic together in case you wanted to take it apart for another model. Most people however will use a plastic glue (for plastic models of course) and a super glue (for pewter models). For basing the model, once I put the larger things like rocks etc. I use a weaker glue like Elmer's school glue on an old paint brush and coat whatever I wanted based in the glue. Then I put the model in the basing material (modeling grass, dirt, sand, etc) and gently blow the extra off. Hope that helps
