Hi --

I need to extend the pipe leading outside from my sump pump, but it's
never been extended and it's just a piece of galvanized steel pipe,
and the end of the pipe is flush with the brick exterior of my house.
It's a female end, but the pipe threads have rusted and corroded a
bit. Can I just insert a piece of pvc in there without threading it
onto the steel pipe? Does pvc glue adhere to steel? Any advice would
be appreciated.


Clean the threads with a wire brush. The brush designed for cleaning the inside
of copper fittings before soldering would work well. The use a Male PVC fitting
with teflon tape or PVC compatable pipe dope screwed into the pipe to attach
your PVC extension, which will be glued into the fitting.
