Default suction off air compressor

I have a
PORTER-CABLE 0.8 HP 6-Gallon 150 PSI Electric Air Compressor.
I want to create suction to pull air out of a line going to a swimming pool.
I am trying to seal a plastic pipe with glue and want to suck some glue into the gaps around the join.
How do I do this?
BTW, will I damage the air compressor if I get water inside.


It would seem it should be obvious how to do it
if it was possible. There would have to be some type
of "inlet" fitting on the compressor that you could connect
to. I've never seen such a thing.

For what you're trying to do, most people use a
shop vac. The hose size usually will fit the 2"
waste outlet which is typically on the filtering
system.

As for possibly damaging the compressor, yes I
would think that's a definite risk too.
