It depends on the size of PVC. For smaller PVC you can buy fittings that glue onto the PVC and allow a thread x barb fitting to be installed. For larger pipe you should get a brass compression fitting that clamps down on the PVC and adapts to a thread x barb fitting.
NO - pvc is Polyvinyl chloride, not hgih-density polyethylene
To join PVC pipe effectively, you can use PVC solvent cement. First, clean and dry the pipe ends. Apply the cement to both the pipe and fitting, then quickly push them together and hold for a few seconds. Allow the joint to set for the recommended time before using.
This is not necessarly true. It all depends on which pipe has a higher bar rating, because the higher the rating, the higher the thickness of the pipe. For example a 5 bar PVC pipe is weaker than a 16 bar poly pipe and visa versa.
Yes.
To join PVC pipes together, you can use PVC primer and cement. First, clean and dry the pipe ends. Apply primer to both the pipe and fitting, then apply cement to the pipe end and insert it into the fitting, twisting slightly to spread the cement. Hold in place for a few seconds to allow it to set.
To join steel pipe to PVC pipe, you can use a threaded adapter or a transition fitting specifically designed for this purpose. First, ensure that the ends of both pipes are clean and free of debris. Apply Teflon tape to the threads of the steel pipe before screwing in the adapter, then connect the PVC pipe using solvent cement if it's a slip fitting or a threaded connection if applicable. Always check for leaks after installation.
You need each piece to have a threaded end fitting, one male, one female.
It depends on where you are application and local code. Copper tube, Pex, PVC, CPVC, & Polyethylene are all used.

The recommended installation procedure for schedule 80 4 inch PVC pipe involves cutting the pipe to the desired length, cleaning the ends with PVC cleaner, applying PVC primer, and then using PVC cement to join the pieces together. It is important to ensure the pipe is properly supported and aligned during installation to prevent leaks or damage.
To effectively repair a PVC pipe joint leak, you can follow these steps: Turn off the water supply to the pipe. Clean the area around the leak with a rag and PVC cleaner. Apply PVC primer to the pipe and fitting. Apply PVC cement to the pipe and fitting. Quickly join the pipe and fitting together and hold in place for a few seconds. Allow the cement to dry for the recommended time before turning the water back on.
There are several types of PVC pipe connectors available in the market, including couplings, tees, elbows, adapters, and caps. These connectors are used to join or redirect PVC pipes in plumbing and irrigation systems.
