    Default Need to replace plumbing, but

    I don't know how to unglue the joints. They are not turning loose by hand so I am guessing it is the thread tape or aquarium glu or both.

    I need to change the position of our sump and the PVC is at the wrong angle now. Any suggestions will be appreciated. TIA, TR, Shirley

    hack saws work quite well!

    if its slip joints on PVC they are permanently bonded... if its threaded then there probably isnt any trick, just twist harder.

    I have known some people to glue threaded PVC joints, be careful!
