Hi,
I will be installing some black ABS bulkheads in my tank this week, the standard ones that pretty much everyone uses. I also will be gluing some black PVC pipe together with black PVC fittings, as well as to the black ABS bulkheads. All materials (bulkheads, pipe, fittings) were purchased online from Savko.
1) Joining the ABS bulkhead to the black PVC - I'm pretty sure I should use Oatey Combination cement for this instead of just regular PVC glue. Do I need to apply primer to both the ABS bulkhead and the black PVC, or just to the PVC?
2) Is the black PVC pipe and fittings sold by Savko actually PVC? I just want to make sure it'll work with PVC glue properly. Should I use regular PVC glue on this or the combination stuff?
I usually use threaded stuff but need slip and glue on this project.
Thanks for any help.
