Joining PVC pipe

Gib Bogle · 2013-04-12T22:27:06+00:00

For reasons that may not be the best, I want to join some 36mm OD PVC drainage pipe to some 38.5mm ID pipe. I'm wondering how I should do this. Various adhesives come to mind, but maybe they do not work with PVC, which I know is usually connected with a solvent cement, and in any case the gap-filling requirement narrows the choices.

I know you've answered your own question now but for future reference for whom it may concern I've several times found myself trying to join nominally 21.5mm[1] overflow waste pipe & fittings & found some makes give a very sloppy fit which solvent cement doesn't fill. Sticks Like Sh*t [2] or Stixall do a good job of joining these: these are more adhesive/ sealants than plain sealants like silicones.

[1] sic: not old size & new [2] which seems to be called just "Sticks Like" now
