The different types of PVC inside couplings available in the market include slip couplings, compression couplings, and expansion couplings.
No. Use teflon tape instead. PVC will melt or burn depending on the temperature
YES
It will connect to the PVC pipe into the wall which ultimately will connect into the main sewer line outside.
If your PVC door handle is spinning, you will have to replace the handle. The bar inside is likely loose and just spinning since it is not getting a grip. There are easy to replace.
A PVC pipe 2,640 feet long with an inside diameter of 10 inches has a volume of: 1,440 cubic feet.
I can't imagine the plumber only giving 1 year on the PVC. Cast iron is rough on the inside and those rought spots can snag paper, lint, etc, eventually leading to blockage. PVC should last much longer and be less susceptible to blockages from material getting caught on the inside wall of the pipes. Also, PVC doesn't rust, while cast iron will. All-in-all, I'd have to vote for the PVC (make sure that it is at least Schedule 40 PVC).
To connect PVC pipes to metal pipes using a PVC to metal adapter, the best way is to follow these steps: Clean and prepare the ends of both the PVC and metal pipes. Apply PVC primer and cement to the PVC pipe end and the inside of the adapter. Insert the PVC pipe into the adapter and hold in place for a few seconds. Repeat the process for the metal pipe end and the other side of the adapter. Allow the connection to dry and cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before using.
The best way to connect two sections of PVC pipe with a 2 inch PVC coupling is to first clean and dry the pipe ends, apply PVC primer and cement to the ends and inside the coupling, then quickly push the pipe ends into the coupling and hold them in place for a few seconds to allow the cement to bond.
Yes, you can attach PVC pipe to ceramic pipe with a fernco. You just have to make sure the inside diameters of the fernco match up with the pipes you are joining.
To cap off a PVC water line effectively, you can use a PVC cap that fits securely over the end of the pipe. Simply apply PVC primer and cement to the end of the pipe and inside the cap, then firmly press the cap onto the pipe and hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure a tight seal.
The distance between the inside edge of two points in a direct line measured inside of any pipe whether, metal, plastic or PVC.
