Is that for the timesaver coupling or to stick around the leaky joint?

Just buy a length and 2 slip couplers or the ones that you can file/knock out,

I hate seeing those flexi dubaliee clip connectors when you could use glued or push

Also the length of pipe will be charged to the customer and you'll have some stock for next time

I'd preffer that too but how can you glue a slip coupling? You'd have to apply glue then slide it all the way, line it up and hope it hasnt glued itself so you can slip it over the joint?

You would have to use one glued and one push or both push although I've done a glued slip coupling once, it wasn't fun and I ended up covered in glue, bad to push the fitting all the way up so the pipe was inline and the fitting was half a fitting higher than the joint glued the pipe up and push down quickly, plenty of glue to make it slip
