flexible PVC pipe

Technically, you're supposed to use purple primer and then pvc cement, but I skip the primer. And yeah, it's technically a slip fitting. Barbed fittings worked better on the vinyl hose. The spa flex is a little too stiff for barbed fittings.

I used a different glue I purchased from a pool store - Oatey's glue for flexible PVC. It is light blue in color and does not need primer.

Thanks! I'll try and find that Oatey's!

I just lent my can to RayAllen since I used very little. I don't want it to go to waste. If you didn't live so far, I would offer it to you as well, but it might just cost you the $15 in gas to come pick it up.

lol. Thanks
I just found a chart at FlexPVC that shows what glue would work with spa pvc so that gives me some options:

Any of the Blue PVC glues will work .Some times they are called Rain or shine or wet glue .You have to work fast with them as the set fast.

Do you think PVC cement is different from the purple primer and clear goop combo we used to lay a waterline to the barn?

Same stuff, Just make sure its pvc glue not cpvc glue. I personally don't even use primer because of how low of preassure the line will be holding( and you don't have to worry about makeing a mess). Blue glue is nice, it cures wet and is nice and thick.
