Rear plumbing is done. I’m a little unsure of the bonds with the manifolds to the threaded nuts. Couldn’t do my twist and having to glue three of them made them a little drier than I’d like when I was attaching them into place. Also, the schedule 80 threaded slip nuts tk the schedule 40 bulkheads were lose. I used a ton of plumbers tape I hope that holds.

Was wondering if after its setup and I have a leak, if I could use epoxy putty to seal any leaks permanently. Any tips?

How did you apply the primer and glue? Did you just hold the ball thing up to the joint or did you use an applicator bottle?

I just used the applicators that came with the pvc primer/cement. At first I tried capping the end and applying full vacuum to the pipe still leaked either I didn’t get enough primer and glue in the correct spot into the poorly glued joint or it had too much vacuum not sure then I drill the pvc cap 3/8” hole then tried again and bingo leak fixed. No issues for almost 2 years. The method definitely works you just need patience.
