Cover equipment to extend life?

[CarlD]

I've never done any PVC work...so naturally I'm a bit hesitant. If you ever find yourself in SE VA and want to do some pool plumbing work for fun, let me know...lol.

Sure...if I'm ever in that part of the state (lived in Alexandria for a decade). But PVC is seriously easy to work. YouTube and, I think Home Depot/Lowes have videos. Try a few joints for practice.
Steps are simple:
1) Use only Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 fittings.
2) Cut to length (Hack saw, Sawzall, two-handed cable saw, Power miter box and brush of the shavings.
3) Use PVC cleaner (yellow can) to clean the pipe back about 1 1/2". Clean the fitting as well
4) Use Purple PVC primer on the pipe and fitting evenly.
5) Use PVC glue (either clear or blue) in white can on both pipe and fitting, thin, even layer.
6) Insert pipe in fitting all the way in. Give a 1/4 turn and turn back to desired position (with angle fittings). Should be hard quickly.

That's it! Simple as pie to work.
