cdnarcher Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 You will need PVC Primer and Cement. It is available at Home Depot under the Oatey brand. Just make sure the existing plumping is PVC and not CPVC because the cement is not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnarcher Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 ok didnt know if that stuff was safe. how do u tell all i know is its white and some of the stuff i have gotten is grey I believe the gray is medium. That is what I use. It is safe for fish (and drinking water) as long as it has cured. I let mine cure for 24 hours before rinsing and running.
