Answers: How do you install and glue PVC drain, waste, and vent plumbing in new home construction?

• PVC plumbing installation
• Drain waste and vent systems
• Pipe slope and grading
• Dry fitting and gluing PVC
• Sanitary tee fittings
• Wet venting plumbing

What it concludes

• Primer is not required by the manufacturer or code for PVC cement in Southern Oregon.
• Using metal straps on PVC pipe can cause squeaking when the pipe expands, so plastic strap tape is preferred.
• Every plumbing fixture requires both a drain and a vent to prevent the P-trap from siphoning out.
• Dry fitting and mocking up pipe assemblies before gluing helps prevent costly alignment mistakes.
