Re: [Killietalk] pvc manifold question

If you are using a blower, just jam them together.  Air leaks are not a 
factor unless one joint actually comes apart. If you are using a volumetric 
pump, then air leaks can be a problem and higher pressure might push joints 
apart. .  I use a 1/3 hp blower and can actually disconnect a 1 inch line in 
one room and the other rooms keep going.  The only joints I glued are those 
I need for holding the pipe in place on vertical runs.  I doubt the thicker 
cement makes a lot of difference, if any.  Just less "runny" to use.   You 
might consider using the thicker cement and just applying it after pushing 
the pipe into the joint to give you a little seal and minor strength which 
you might be able to remove with a razor blade.
