What happens here

The plumber marks the additional section of pipe to be cut for the second union. With all components prepared, the process of gluing begins. First, purple primer (Oatey Purple Primer) is applied to all surfaces that will be joined. The primer softens the PVC, preparing it for the cement. Next, blue PVC cement (Oatey Rain-R-Shine Medium Blue PVC Cement) is applied. The hosts joke about the age of the primer, noting it appears somewhat brown. This highlights the importance of using fresh chemicals for optimal bonding. They advise applying cement evenly to both the pipe and the fitting.

Goal: All connection points on the PVC pipes and fittings are prepared with purple primer and blue PVC cement for a strong, permanent bond.

clean okay so that's where that check valve's going to go and we need to mark where our union's going to go in place again guys this couldn't be more simple another cut we'll get rid of all that debris once we get done cutting and that blue tank you see behind us is called a pressure tank it helps to equalize the pressure that's coming out of the well so we don't get what's called water hammer which would send an extreme amount of pressure down to the wellhead see how i'm cleaning that pipe all right this purple primer is old and you'll see here in a minute hopefully i don't regret using this let me know what you think guys it was a little brown so we'll prime every single connection and then we'll use that blue that blue glue whenever we install make
