If you are looking for a PVC faucet, you have come to the right place. Here, you will find all of the information that you need to make the right choice. Read on to learn about PVC spigots, Female thread, Glue in fitting, and applications. You will also learn about the many types of PVC fittings and how they can be used to enhance your bathroom.

PVC spigots
If your PVC faucet spigot has become corroded or has cracked, replacing it is an easy and quick task. Before you begin, take a picture of the old spigot and visit your local hardware store. Family hardware stores are typically run by experienced employees who will help you find the proper replacement. When you arrive at the store, you should measure the opening of the old spigot to ensure that it will fit your new one. Then, write this measurement on a piece of paper and place it near the pipe.

The step in replacing a PVC faucet is to find out the measurements of the pipe and couplings. Make sure the pipes will fit with the current faucet. If they do not, buy new ones and cover the old ones with a new coating of primer.

Female thread
To connect a PVC faucet to a copper pipe, you need to buy a copper male adapter and a copper female adapter. You can then solder the copper male adapter to the copper pipe. Once the threads are soldered together, you need to wrap plumbing tape around the copper male adapter and the PVC female adapter. You will also need to glue the copper female adapter onto the PVC pipe.

You can measure the thread size using a caliper or a measuring tape. Generally, the thread size is about 1 3/4 inches. It is important to remember that the thread size is the same as the ID of the pipe.

Glue in fitting
You need to clean the PVC pipe. You can do this by using hand lotion or baby powder. Secondly, you will need to apply PVC glue inside the fitting. Unlike other adhesives, PVC glue does not require a primer. After applying it, insert the pipe into the fitting. You should press it in tightly for 30 seconds before it dries.

When it comes to choosing a PVC cement, be sure to read the label carefully. The type and quantity of cement will affect the time it takes to set. Standard-grade glue sets in less than 15 minutes, while slow-setting glue takes up to 30 minutes. Wet and dry glues are different from standard stuff, and it is important to read the labels of both types to make sure you are using the right one.
