A:  For safety sake I would go with the specs and say it is non-potable

A:  this is truly confusing, sorry. PVC SCH 40 pressure systems manufactured by Charlotte meet the requirements of NSF61 for drinking water.

A:  This type of couplings are used to union two pieces, inside of it has a stop collar that is designed to have the same pipe size inserted into each side of the coupling. Before install, make sure you mark the outside of the pipe that is going to be inserted into the coupling so you can be sure that you pushed all the way through and is well installed, safe and is going to be leak proof. After the pipe is marked clean up all the pieces, apply the solvent and then the cement glue to one side of the pieces, connect them and keep them pushing for about 30 seconds before you glue the other side. And yes, sometimes when you try to install pipes in a dry manner (not glue present) the pipes don’t go all the way until you apply the glue.
