So I switched from brass fittings and am now using CPVC stuff. I am still using the SS washer hose and SS clamps to lock that to the CPVC, my question is, should I use the "glue/cement" stuff to lock the CPVC together, or should I not worry about that and just hope it all holds together? I've been reading the label of the cement and it seems like after it dries its safe but there are warnings all over it about not injesting it when its in liquid form... What should I do guys?? This is also for my very first AG, I'm nervous and excited!!
 
A lot of people leave it hand tight without glue so that it's easier to take apart and clean. They don't seem to have any issues with it coming apart during the mash or anything. If you do glue it, make sure it cures completely and then clean it throughly before use.
 
ok thanks, I think I'll just leave it this time and if it comes undone then I'll glue it next time and try that, this stuff is cheap so I aint worried about messing up and having to start over.
