    Default PVC resting on brick or concrete block

    I have had to have my skimmer lines replaced. To prevent the skimmer from settling I was advised to tamp the sand under and rest the PVC elbow on brick or concrete block. Any chance this will eventually wear the PVC?

    Default Re: PVC resting on brick or concrete block

    Don't know about the idea of resting the elbow on a block but if that makes sense I'd leave a little gap between the elbow and block, maybe 1/4", and squish a bunch of silicone seal around them. The stuff is tough once it fully cures and I've made engine mounts for my Harley out of silicone seal.
