"Bottoming out" PVC pipe inside fittings.

[NTM5]

I connected a 1.5 inch PVC pipe to a bathtub drain. The fitting can accept about 3/4 inch of PVC, but I could only insert the PVC about 1/2 inch. I primed and cement both the fitting and the pipe according to instructions and pushed the pipe inside as hard as I could, giving it a quarter turn.

Is my connection good enough? There is a 1/4 inch ridge on the inside that I am worried might trap hair or debris that goes down the tub drain.
I attached a picture of the inside of the pipe so you can see the connection on the inside. I also show a photo of the outside of the pipe.

not ideal but realistically it will be fine

Did you try to dry fit it first? That's a good idea. The way it is will probably be fine, but in the future on something else it might be a problem.

I think I remember reading on the forum, that a full insertion, dry fit can misshape the bottom of the hub or pvc pipe and be the possible source of a leak.

How did you cut the pipe? Any chance the end was burred?

If you did not hold the pipe firmly in the fitting for about 5-10 seconds, the glue can push the pipe out a bit before it sets.

Is there some way to combine two threads by the same poster on the same subject?
