Im changing my plumbing, will the bottom portion of a scheduel 80 fit into a scheduel 40 union. I dont want to have to cut and reglue. I just need to use the bottom part so i can quickly change for my new plumbing. If i have to recut how long do i have to wait before the glue is safe. I will not have much time to wait. I would plan on only reglueing the union after the bottom portion has had time has had sufficiently cure.

Can you have water running through a freshly glued pvc joint within maybe 30 mins. Im considering just cutting it and adding a new union. Are all scheduel 40 unions standard. If so i would not have to cut anything
