If you have been reading all my other questions you know what i am doing. I am at the stage where i need to cement the pipe. Thing is i dont have the ability to take it all apart and reset it perfectly in the allotted time pvp cement gives me. My question is will liquid nails be strong enough and leak proof enough to seal my pipes. that way i will not need to take anything apart. just apply around the edges.

Thanks for all the help thus far everybody!

You need to use PVC joint compound to properly seal joints. That's how it's designed, both the pipe and the solvent.

Prolly won't get many replies, without the info in this thread. But I went and looked, and you want to recreate a small glass pipe? That is of common design, and white in color with a orange slash down the side...

I'd probably spend $10 dollars and get a similar pipe sent to me from somewhere. Rather then trying to make one... I don't really see any advantage to making one.

I'm hoping to recreate Heaths vertical in a portable container. I am trying to seal pvc pipe without using the actual cement because i don't think i can get it to set where i want it and it will fuck my whole design. Do you know of anything i could put around where the coupling and pipe meet to make a seal? The pipe will not be very full of water. instead it will have about 6 gallons a minute running through then recirculating.

I need a silicon type compound. Unless silicon will work just fine. After i seal it the pipe will NOT move again. I'm just worried about a wrong angle by 2 degrees. That will screw me.

Listen you must be kidding me , PVC pipe and fittings , PVC GLUE and PVC Primer: these all work together as a component , just like NPK with out one of them your plant will not be healthy. OK now the PVC is a plastic the prime is the key is activates the pvc when the glue is added the reaction is a small film of the pvc melts and the glue hardens making a hermetic seal , SO YES use the primer then glue and make your outside seal ,it will work to at least 100 psi rating , inside glue joint will work for what the pve pipe is rated for.

Oh and just a FYI you most likly dont need anything at all PVC pipe and fitting have such tight tolorences you proberly could get away with just fitting up ,BUT buy a PVC cutter and make straight cuts ,so all ends seat into back of fittings, if cuts are jagged or angle they will not seat properly

Seating the pipe into the fitting correctly is the key to a great JOINT
Just like the proper NPK is the key to a great JOINT

Dont understand your worry about proper angle ,you dry fit first till you achive your connection point, they only make 90 deg 45 deg and 22.5 deg angle , you will get you smaller 2 deg angle by the distance of your stright to the next angle fitting.

Sure dude, use liquid NAIL to seal pipe, and Silicone to seal wood............
Simple case of not reading instructions or not using Google.
