stupid plumbing question

[Dangerwill]

checked around breifly and couldnt find answer

I am connecting locline to pvc, I tried redhotblue glue, that didnt work at all, should I use silicone?

these are non threaded applications

I didn't know you could get glue in loc line, I've only ever seen the threaded type

Yes - you should use the Ball Socket x MPT (threaded) locline connectors to join PVC to locline.

The only other material that seems to work is superglue and a vise overnight - but it's not recommended.

If you can, in any way, use a slip-to-thread fitting so that the threaded connector of the Loc-Line can be used properly. Even if you use a hack saw to shorten your current fitting and the slip side of the slip/thread fitting, it would be better.
