You need each piece to have a threaded end fitting, one male, one female.
To connect PVC to galvanized pipe, you can use a PVC to threaded adapter. This adapter has a female threaded end that can be screwed onto the male threaded end of the galvanized pipe. Make sure to use Teflon tape on the threads to create a tight seal and prevent leaks.
You can't. There is no fitting to do this. Galvanized has to be threaded.
Yes
Pipe dope and/or teflon tape
Depends on local codes and the PH of the water
To effectively connect a galvanized pipe to PVC in a plumbing system, you can use a special fitting called a transition coupling. This coupling has one end that fits onto the galvanized pipe and the other end that fits onto the PVC pipe. Make sure to clean and prepare the ends of both pipes before connecting them with the transition coupling. This will create a secure and watertight connection between the two different types of pipes.
Yes, you can slide PVC pipe over a galvanized pipe to help stop a leak, but it’s not a permanent solution. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying a suitable sealant or adhesive to create a watertight seal. However, it's generally recommended to repair the leak properly by replacing or fixing the galvanized pipe to ensure long-term effectiveness and safety.
No, do not use glue. Use teflon tape or pipe dope on the threads. You should also make sure you always put the male PVC thread into the female metal thread. If you do it the other way you will tend to split the PVC fitting when you tighten the threads.
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.
Yes.
There are no hoses that do this. There is only copper pipe, galvanized pipe, or PVC normally use in a home water supply.
A threaded copper fitting on the copper side, male or female, and the galvanized is screwed into it.
