For higher pressure or irrigation I always recommend Emery cloth the pipe before prime and weld, it takes off the clear seal and helps with the reaction.I use all purpose clear cement.

Thanks. These two videos suited my project and my knowledge level perfectly. Keep 'em coming.

Never had a problem with PVC ever ever, but CPVC with the "hot stuff" or something multi-purpose cement, that said it worked on either one, just would not take city water pressure. We even held it for 15 minutes then waited another 1/2 hour. Only possible mistake was if there was PVC + CPVC together. Yes there are diff. sizes but I think you can get an OD matching an ID with a firm fit when crossing the two, hoping it could work to couple, and that might have been the issue. Maybe I figured the glue was for both, but they didn't bond right to one another.

When u say the purple can be used down to zero degress does that mean applied at the temp or run afterwards at that temp with out failure?

Do you have a video on capping? (how to select the right type and how to install) Confused by pressurized vs non, as well as whether water valves need only be shut off locally or at a main source. My initial thought was that as a drain pipe, the water wasn't a concern, but I have seen some confusing advice online. I am needing to trim down an unused sink drain pipe that sticks out from the wall about 12 inches in our laundry room. (We want to place our deep freezer there instead of using it for a sink--but want to preserve enough on the drain pipe in case we need it at some point in the future.) I am a single mom and would like to do this myself since it seems like it should be simple.
