      Answer This Question

      Julio, Medium gray is fine on the fluoride line, but NOT on the hypochlorite. You will need to use our EP42 formula 30328, which is good for CPVC and PVC

              Used a pipe cutter that goes sound the conduit and it won’t cut the wires

                Once cured you will not be able to break the seal as the pipe and fitting have been solvent welded together. Cutting it out is the only way to remove the box unfortunately.

                  Dajur: You might want to contact the manufacturer. We had a lot of experience using it when we wired in the back yard with lights and the hot tub but thank goodness it never had to come apart under ground. My electrician friend and I ran the wires in the thick gray plastic pipe and we glued it together for water tight connections because it was going to be under a 6" concrete slab. It lasted over 20 years before we sold the house. You might also want to ask your local building inspectors because they can be very helpful. I would think they might tell you once you're sure the circuit is turned off to remove what's in the box, carefully cut the pipe without damaging the wires. We cut it with a flexible cable saw we bought from Home Depot and put in a new box with a piece of pipe replacing the part you removed, connect it to the old pipe and glue it all together. That's what we had to do when we had to replace the hot tub box above ground that was broken when we replaced the fence and it worked. Hope that helps, Hank

                  I use a string in tight spots ( make sure it is cotton or other that won't melt) Wrap one loop around slowly pulling back and forth it will cut it fairly quickly (depending on how fast you pull)

                  By|Oct 21, 2025

                    Dajur: The flexible saw I referred to is available in the tool section at your local Home Depot. It has a loop connection at both ends for use in a hacksaw frame, and it was news to me, but my electrician friend used it because he'd had experience with it. He wrapped it around the PCV electrical conduit and rotated it slowly. It did a beautiful job cutting through the electrical PCV pipe without damaging the wires. I've used it a couple of times since and it really works great but you have to be patient. I hope that helps, Hank

                      We use this a lot and it works perfectly every time. Thick enough for the PVC conduit sizes we use which are generally 2" and under (this is designed to be used for PVC conduits up to 6" in diameter). There is a "Heavy Duty" variant for those larger PVC conduits, that fills in larger gaps, but this is great for the sizes we use. No need for primer with this either, which is makes its use really easy and fast. We've found that getting a new can, rather than trying to re-use older, half-full cans works best, as it gets pretty thick, pretty fast if left for a few weeks. Older cement still works, but I feel more confident with the fresh cement. A picture of the instructions off the can is attached as it outlines the use of the cement without the need for primer. We were not able to find this set of instructions anywhere else, as those included on all the sites we saw are generic cement instructions and not exactly right for this product.

                      Perfect for jobs requiring gray electrical PVC conduit. I use various Oatley PVC cement products including the purple primer/blue cement in a variety of applications including sprinklers and pool plumbing. Despite the popularity of WIFI networks, I have cabled many network CAT5/6 connections and used PVC Schedule 40 Conduit to protect the cables under/outside structures. The Oatley Electrical Cement does the job to keep moisture out and provide a solid long lasting bond. Also keep in mind the direction of the fitting to ensure they are facing down on vertical runs to prevent water accumulation/seepage.
