    Adding a 1 1/4 inch heat trace to a fixed 2 inch polypipe water line.

    How can I add an 1 1/4 inch heat trace to a 2 inch buried water line. There is no lateral play in the water line. Do I need a plastic 2 inch union and a 2X2X1 1/4 Tee?

    How to connect 2 inch pressure pipe?

    I removed a Tee from my jet pump suction line and now need to connect the pipes. I do not know if it is ABS or PVC. Do I glue 2 couplings together with a length of 2 inch pipe? There is no lateral movement in either pipe. Could I insert some kind of union? Thanks J.

    ABS pinhole in Tee.

    Thanks. Am I correct in using a few thin layers of ABS solvent /cement rather than thick layers. How long in between layers? Should I use a hair dryer to speed curing?

    ABS pinhole in Tee.

    There is a pinhole spraying water in my pressurized jet pump system where the heat cable goes into the line to the lake at the ABS TEE How can I seal the leak? If I depressurize the system, clean the leak area and apply ABS cement will this fix it?

    Unknown small pex pipe.

    Thanks for your replies. Yes, there is a floor drain. I believe this is to keep the trap full. How often should the water flow in this line? Hot or cold water?
