how to fix leaking pvc pipe joint
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Fixing a leaking PVC pipe joint involves several steps. First, ensure the water supply is turned off to prevent further leakage. Dry the area around the leak thoroughly. If the joint is merely loose, you can try tightening it. However, if the joint is cracked or damaged, it's best to replace the specific section. To do this, cut the damaged section out with a PVC cutter or hacksaw, ensuring straight and clean cuts. Prepare the new PVC pipe and fittings by cleaning and applying PVC primer on the ends of the pipe and inside the fittings. Then, apply PVC cement on both primed areas and quickly join them together, holding firmly for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond. Allow the cement to cure for the time specified by the manufacturer before turning the water back on. This method is effective for both temporary and long-term repairs, but replacement is recommended for a permanent solution.
