Default How to connect copper to PVC?


"Jim Yanik" wrote


the only proper way is to solder a threaded fitting on the copper
pipe,then
screw on the proper PVC adapter,and glue up your PVC pipe network to that
adapter.

you need a propane or MAPP torch,flux-core plumbing solder(no
lead!!),emery
paper to clean the solder joint areas,and maybe a heat shield if there's
wood or a wall close by.

The folks at Home Depot or Lowes ought to be able to show you how to do
this properly. they might even teach a class on it.

Huh? "Proper way"? There may be a way that is "proper", and then there is
a way that is simple, safe, effective, long lasting, cost efficient, and
labor saving. Sometimes the lesser is just as good as the "proper" way.

Give me safe, easy and long lasting.

There's a hundred ways to cook a poodle.

But it all tastes like chicken in the end, don't it?
