    I was looking at the install last night and while I'm not a plumber, it looks WAY better than what the PB did. I also used all hard PVC, no flex tube.

    Once I get all the minor leaks sorted, I'm going to hook up my liquidator.

    I used Great White pipe dope recently and it worked well. I did have to tighten one joint a half turn to stop a very slow seep.
