How to glue PVC pipe side by side?

I'm making a set of speaker stands out of wood and PVC pipes. The vertical section is going to be 3 pieces of pipe glued in a triangle. I know the proper way to cement PVC in normal plumbing applications, which seems a lot easier since you can force the pieces together without worrying about slippage or the pieces moving too much. How would I secure three pieces together if I'm cementing them on their outside surfaces?

Answer:

If you lived where it got cold I could understand cause the warm dryer air blowing into the cold air would cause a mildew problem from the moisture it would create, they sold kits where you could put the warm dryer air right into your basement to help warm it in winter months so I'm not sure where any danger comes in. You might want to go to your town hall and check your codes, you know how government works , they'll find a way to get a dime out of you. Good luck, it's 9 degrees here.
its glass not mirror material gosh ppl these days
Do not connect those 2 metals to each other. A stainless steel isolation fitting is advised to help avoid electrolysis. As soon electrolysis begins the aluminum will corrode and eventually fail causing the oil to leak. This is a case of call a pro to do the work.
The two major factors in venting underneath are moisture from the vent creating an environment for molds and mildew to grow and the second is an accumulation of lint that may cause the vent to become blocked and creating a possible fire hazard. Your options would be to cut through the wall and mount your vent that way or use an indoor venting system sold in most hardwares. If you keep the vent clean and regularly clean the lint screen and get a lint brush to clean out the pipe from there I don't believe you have anything to worry about with your current set up as long as you can get to the pipe underneath and check it for clogs once or twice a year.
The problem if it is electric is moisture/humidity from the dryer. If it is gas co2 and moisture. If your home has no skirt and it is electric don't worry about it. if it does just extend the hose to vent out of the skirt.
