Is this the correct PVC Material?

[Simon Reefing]

I am building a new mixing station and wasnt really going to go all out on fancy plumbing. Are these PVC material okay? I’m not sure if there is a specific pvc needed.

if I decided to spray paint it is there any risk leaking into the water? It’s going in the Garage so I’m not to picky I usually like everything clean looking but the prices are crazy for painted pvc

thank you!

Should be good to use. IF you do paint it, I've seen recommendations of Kryon fusion

 

[threebuoys]

these will work fine. spray paint will work fine.

Thank you so much! Also is there a clear pvc glue you recommen. I will keep that in mind if I do end up painting it

Keep in mind, you don't want to paint where you will glue them together, The glue will not work properly.

Oateys clear PVC primer, and clear PVC glue is available at any lowes or HD.

I wouldn't paint it. Krylon fusion works good but it wears off and looks worse. Get some colored PVC if you want it to look pretty. I used blue and while and I am the only one that even looks at it...

I agree that's the right PVC.

I am seeing the word "glue" used. Make sure you get "clear PVC cement." It welds the PVC together for a water tight bond that can't come apart.

Thank you! I think I will just leave it white.

Oateys I think is how you spell it. Get it at Lowe’s. Works fantastic.

Oatey should be available everywhere.

Thank you all! Last question and thank you again is there a box store that sells bulk heads that you can use or is that something that I will have to order. I don’t see any at the usual stores and I found one but they are threaded and not slip

I have never seen bulkheads in the normal box stores. I always order them online.

I highly recommend that you purchase cepek ball valves. The ball valves at the big box stores are junk

You can also get colored pvc from homedepot or lowes. It will say furniture grade, but the same ones that BRS sells. way cheaper than brs.

Since they are 3/4 do I use something to jump up to 1 in?
