    Default What type of PVC Glue?

    I need to replace a 3 port valve which entails glueing some pvc parts.

    I know there are a number of pvc glues.

    What type of glue is recommended?

    If you are using hard PVC, not flexible, for all pieces, then they all should work. For flexible PVC, use the blue stuff.

    Use the blue stuff. You can use it for everything anyway, but it's better for the flex.
