It's nice if you have a little bit bigger dabbers, but
somehow I ended up with a small dabber.
I'll just have to work a little faster.
Don't forget to twist and hold it in place.
So this is our little fitting.
I'm going to glue into here.
And then I'm going to jump in the hole and
I got to glue this to my vertical pipe.
And then I'll push the whole thing and glue it into there.
But let's take a second to talk about ABS pipe and
the glue that we're going to use.
I'm going to go ahead and primer it like I normally would a PVC pipe.
And you can't really use ABS glue but
in the same respect you can't use PVC glue.
So you have to get what they call a transition cement and
this is ABS to PVC.
So this is what we're gonna use to glue these two guys together.
The blue glue is just a little too hot for
this, kinda melts it too much.
The Red Hot Blue Glue.
And that's probably what everyone's used to using.
So I'm just gonna primer it like I normally would.
And this is a low pressure system.
I mean, there's literally zero psi in the system like this.
So you're not worried about the ABS not being able to handle
the pressure cuz there's no pressure in this gravity flow line.
So you see the green glue has a little different consistency.
But it goes on just the same.
You wanna still do the same twist with a quarter turn and hold.
I do find that the green glue or the transition cement
takes a little bit longer to cure than the red hot glue.
But as I said that the red hot, it cooks really fast and
hot and kind of burns this too much, so I wouldn't recommend doing that.
I wanna give you a little bit of advice while I'm down in this hole,
and it might seem as tight as it is.
We took great care in over excavating the area so
we would have the ability to climb down in here and maneuver.
If you do yoga, it helps quite a bit, just to let you know.
But, I'm glue this one first.
And I'm gonna go ahead and do that right now.
Remember, we're using the transition cement.
Because we're going ABS to PVC.
And I do have, I'm going to have a helper in the pond,
on the other side of the bond beam, that's going to help me push
when it's time, because a four inch pipe...
It's a lot of contact surface with the glue, so
you're gonna need help to do that final push.
So we got this guy lined up and I'm hold it for a second.
So now our ABS connection is complete.
I'm gonna go ahead and switch over to the red hot glue as I
make the connection from this piece into the knife valve.
So let me go ahead and primer that.
When you’re down in a hole like this, it’s good to make sure no
one's walking around above you, kicking up dust.
Cuz you don’t want a bunch of dust on your fittings right here.
Want a nice, clean connection.
Good glue.
Okay, ready, Dikes?
>> Yup. >> Okay, hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Oh, got some dust on that.
Did you see that?
Easy, go ahead push.
Ho ho ho lift up, lift up.
Push.
Right there.
Put a little dirt underneath your pipe.
>> I'm up in the air right here.
>> That's okay, just put a little dirt underneath there for now.
>> Got you.
>> All right.
So I'm just holding that connection, make sure its good.
While I'm down here, I'm gonna go ahead and
stub up my air line as well.
The air that leads from the live support station all the way down to
the bottom drain.
So I'm gonna go ahead and do that while I'm down in the hole.
So I stubbed the little three-quarter inch line
through here and this is going to bring the air to my drain.
Let me have the top piece.
Standard glue and primer.
Hold on to that.
Okay.
I'm gonna push this all the way to the wall.
Help me push it to the wall.
>> Yeah. >> That way.
And then I think I can cut it up here, and
I can put some tape over the top.
And then we'll run that back through life support.
Here's the glue, help me out of this hole.

One, two, three.
