no, i learned it from a landscaper, he would heat it with a torch and couple them instead of using a coupling On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 10:41 PM TJ Trout wrote: > Can you give a photo? maybe I have some other ideas if I can visualize > > On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 10:34 PM Jason McKemie < > j.mcke...

Will try that, I figured they would stick together at that point. I've used couplers, but they're not deep enough and it doesn't bind together the same way the flared end does with HDPE. On Monday, September 26, 2022, TJ Trout wrote: > if you just need the flared end of a pvc pipe you can take

if you just need the flared end of a pvc pipe you can take a 1ft piece and sand one end down to give the edge 45 degree or greater edges, then you just heat up 3in of pipe and jam the beveled piece against it and it will flare out On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 7:23 PM Jason McKemie < j.mcke...@veloxinet

Lots of companies do it this way as well. Are you looking for a way to use the half stick you are throwing away? Or a replacement for the PVC? There are pex flaring tools that might be able to flare the PVC if you heat it, I think that is what TJ Trout is suggesting. On amazon there is this t
