Argh pvc!

[funkapottomous]

So I bought some PVC pipe to fit to my new conical from spraysmarter.

Two parts were not threaded, and thus will need to be glued.

Only problem is, I put them together in the store to make sure they'd fit and can't get them apart!

Any ideas? I don't have any wrenches big enough to fit around them.

Run some hot tap water over the female side of the joint...

Cheers!

yeahhhhhh. It's not budging.

I'm wondering if the seal is this tight if putting the cement on it is even necessary.

soak em in boiling water for a min, then pull apart.

Yes you need to. The one time you really need it to stay together it will come apart and make a big mess...Cheers
