how to replace pvc t-joint

Replacing a PVC T-joint involves several steps to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. First, turn off the water supply and drain the pipes. Cut out the damaged T-joint using a hacksaw or PVC cutter, making sure to cut straight and leave enough pipe on each end to attach the new joint. Clean the edges of the pipes to remove any debris or burrs. Apply PVC primer to the outside of the pipes and the inside of the new T-joint's sockets; this cleans and prepares the surfaces for gluing. Then, apply PVC cement to the same areas, insert the pipes into the T-joint's sockets, and hold them together firmly for a few seconds to allow the cement to set. Ensure the T-joint is correctly aligned with the flow direction and the existing piping before the cement dries. Finally, wait for the cement to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before turning the water supply back on. It's important to wear protective gloves and work in a well-ventilated area throughout the process to avoid skin and respiratory irritation from the primer and cement.
