Re: Un-Purple Primer for PVC
I'm curious also! I bring it up every chance I get. If the engineer or architect is out on site I will always bring up the question. I get a different answer every time, none really satisfying. I get a lot of rambling about noise issues, fire rating, durability. I would really love to get down to the actual reason. Cast iron producers have great lobbyists?
The main issue I have with ABS is keeping your pieces straight. I will have to go down to the supply house and hand pick our pallets for delivery because if not you could get some banana shaped pipe showing up to your jobs. PVC is not that popular up here in Seattle, so I have not worked with it much. I do like how the pieces stay nice and straight though. I enjoy the finished product of cast iron the best everything looks really nice, tight, and good straight mechanical joints. I would be interested in doing a whole job in PVC though to see how I like it. I think the purple primer is ugly as all get out. I know it's not about how it looks, but I do appreciate a job that looks good when you're done.
I've been accessing the form exclusively through TapaTalk, so haven't seen any of the info relating to the paid member plans. I will be sure to check that out the next time I'm at a desktop.
I need to go dig through my photos laying around and get them posted on here. Thinking be really great to hear the feedback from everyone on ways to improve. Might sound a little dorky, but I get excited every time someone shows me a new way that is either better or easier, or both...thean the way I've been doing it before.
