[DIY] PVC with Galvanized

 

Well, I've discovered something about connecting new PVC to old galvanized pipe.  The hard way.  I usually use CPVC because there are adapters with metal ends to tighten up on galvanized pipes.  I usually have trouble cracking plastic pipe but with PVC, I found the secret.  On a male end of the galvanized pipe, tightening up the female end of an adapter will lead to cracks.  But if you add a galvanized coupling and then a PVC male adapter, tightening the connection will make the plastic compact, not spread.  No leaks.  Hope this helps someone out there
