The condensate pipe from the boiler is solvent welded, and one of the fittings had developed a hair line crack. I had to cut it out and put in a new length of pipe, plus connector fittings in order to replace this one joint. Did I miss a trick there for replacing it? And why would it have cracked in the first place?
Dis similar expansion rates? Brian
This is well down the condensate pipe, 2-3m from the boiler. So the water must be room temperature.
Wrong solvent cement? They can be PVC or ABS and there are two different types of solvent; one solvent is compatible with the other, but there is a "wrong way round". Some plastics get brittle if exposed to the wrong solvent.
