So is threading PVC pipe an unnatural abomination like the top industry
experts at Home Depot, in their orange aprons, assert? *Or just not often
worth the labor versus a glued fitting?


They didnt have already threaded 2" joints/fittings of variou types?
They are common as dirt here in California HDs

The threaded ones I've found at HD and Lowes were grey, and not in the
same area as white DWV fittings.

When I thread plastic pipe for mechanical projects I use electrical
conduit. It cuts very well with HSS.
