Hi Steve,

Yes, but if you look at their selection guide here:

http://www.ipscorp.com/ind_html/selectind.html

You can see that they don't recommend 16 for PVC rigid to PVC rigid. I only use 16 on acrylic and PVC glue on PVC.

However, if your pipe is not under too much pressure and it works for you, then, it's probably ok. But just something to keep in mind next time.

Thanks.

Hopefuly it won't be a problem I am not actualy bonding PVC with it I am only putting around threased joints hoping to seal the threads with out taking it apart.. I checked it this morning it is as hard as rock so we will find out soon if it worked [img]smile.gif[/img]

Against my better judgment I left my RO unit going while I sleeped. I have 15" of water now.. 1/2" more that I calculates so all is good [img]smile.gif[/img]

Looks like tonight I will be adding salt and sand.
