How to Convert Schedule 40 PVC Sewer

You will need the following materials to convert Schedule 40 PVC Sewer: - Measuring tape - Hacksaw or tubing cutter - PVC primer and cement - PVC reducer - PVC couplings - Pipe clamps or hangers

Step 2: Cut the section of PVC sewer pipe to be converted.

Measure and mark the length of PVC sewer pipe that needs to be converted, then use a hacksaw or tubing cutter to cut the pipe.

Step 3: Apply primer to the ends of the cut pipe and the reducer fitting.

Use PVC primer to apply a thin coat to the ends of cut pipe and the inside of reducer fitting. This will help the cement to bond.

Step 4: Apply cement to the ends of the cut pipe and the reducer fitting.

Apply a thin coat of PVC cement to ends of cut pipe and the inside of the reducer fitting.

Step 5: Insert the reducer fitting into the end of the cut PVC sewer pipe.

Carefully insert reducer fitting into the end of cut PVC sewer pipe. Twist fitting slightly as you insert it to ensure cement is evenly distributed, then hold it firmly in place for 30 seconds to allow cement to set.

Step 6: Connect the PVC couplings to the reducer fitting.

Apply primer and cement to ends of PVC couplings and the outside of reducer fitting. Insert couplings onto fittings, then twist slightly as you insert them to ensure that cement is evenly distributed. Hold couplings firmly in place for 30 seconds to allow cement to set.

Step 7: Install pipe clamps or hangers.

Install pipe clamps or hangers to support converted Schedule 40 PVC sewer pipe.

Step 8: Let the cement cure for at least 24 hours before using the converted PVC sewer pipe.
