So I am doing a little project outside. I need to connect a pvc pipe to a rubber hose. water will be flowing between these two. I am going to use some sort of sealent along with a clamp thingy but wondering what type of sealent should i use. Is there a particular one should i use?
There is a rubber sleeve that works as a go between not sure of the name but going into a hardware store or a home improvement store and they will get you what you need.
you can use sealant if you want, but a hose clamp will work fine by itself. i've done this many times and the connection doesn't come apart or leak.
A hose clamp can fit the bill but that is not the ideal way to go. Since I don't know the exact siuation. Talk with the guy in the local hardware/plumbing supply, he can give you free(good) advise.
There's many different cements/adhesives for different applications available on the market today. Read the labels. I'm sure one of the general-purpose cements would be just what you're looking for.
Nobody has quite answered the question though... I m looking for a similar sealant for another application. Can anyone recommend a brand or specific adhesive for a PVC to rubber connection? In my case I want to glue a tire air valve into a drilled hole in a PVC pipe.
