Plumming with PVC question

OK, Well, I think I might have seriously messed up here.

I thought I had bought some cement / primmer BUT after I had plummed up the entire system, I realized I only had primmer ( The purple stuff )

Now, my question is, will the primer be enough? Is there anyways I can save the system or do I need to replum the entire thing?

Can I coat the outside of the joints with the cement and be enough?

 

I thought it was a combo thingie.

 

well...

it might not leak, at least not right away.

But I would say, go to home depot, get some cement, take the plumbing apart and do it over. And use lots of cement. I mean, you don't have to get new pieces. Just pull it apart and use the same parts.

I know it's annoying, but think about it this way: You'll put hundrets of thousands of dollars in that tank and a lot of work too. It won't take you that long to do it again and it will save you a big headache.

yep, needs to be glued, All you did was clean it up real good.

 

I'm fixing to redo my plumbing when I move my tank. What kind of glue, or what brand do I need to get?

Sorry about your having to pull all of that apart especially after you already worked so hard on it. I just hope I can figure out how to do the replumbing myself since I don't have any help around here.

I'm just going to rebuy all it. $100+ down the drain but am afraid of stress caused breaks from pulling them apart.

It is the price of not RTFM. And I'm a techie, I should know better ( ironic thing is what techie actually reads the manual )

 

you don't have to buy everything over. I would just prime it again and glue it. All the pieces are already cut for your system. Take a few photos before ripping it apart.

 

Already took photos (was going to brag then realized my massive mistake)

parts don't come apart really. afraid of stress cracks from twisting them apart too

 

I'll have pics of the system shortly. Going to do an almost exact mimic of the current setup.

Wasn't a total lost, I came up with a cool way to have the system detact in worst case scenario without destroying anything. Is there anything the screw can't do?
