pvc pipe

Plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic. It is usually, but not necessarily, of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow—liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipes are far stiffer per unit weight than solid members.
Plastic pipework is used for the conveyance of drinking water, waste water, chemicals, heating fluid and cooling fluids, foodstuffs, ultra-pure liquids, slurries, gases, compressed air, irrigation, plastic pressure pipe systems, and vacuum system applications.

    Connecting pvc pipes?

    After I cement my pvc pipe to its pvc connector, is it normal for there to be a small gap between the edge of the pipe and the indent in the connector? It's like 1/4" between the two. I mean, they are stuck and I can't pull them apart, but should it be better?
