    Dave, I don't dispute you, but I've used taped PVC fittings for over a dozen years with no problem with the joints, and I use it all over: returns, drains, quick-connects, ball valves, etc.

    I know, me too, as long as I can remember. Sorry for questioning your advice. My information is from Lasco's website here:http://lascofittings.sitewrench.com/threads. I found it when trying to figure out why my unions were leaking at the threads.
