I'm assuming it's polypipe. So only 100 PSI max? I'm not a plumber but isn't it only used for drainage? PVC is cheap and you get like 300 PSI from schedule 40? I guess people use Polypipe because it's flexible but if you need flexible there are PEX's. At least with PEX you would get 160 PSI but not sure what the diameter of the application that as needed.Is the poly pipe IPS or CTS? The Ford fitting needs to be the same size ratio. They come in both sizes.
Sharkbite or any push fit are not suitable underground.I have had very good luck with SharkBite fittings. If it were mine, I'd be tempted to get A SharkBite coupling, and see if it would be long enough to remove your fittings, cut the threads off the Polly pipe, and slide the Shark bite coupling on both pipes.
Thank you. I didn't know that.I have no experience with those repair couplings. I am certified (took the course but not a lot of field experience) in fusion for joints in PE pipe. that's polyethylene. I know polybutylene is discontinued, do you know which 'poly' you have.
If PE, then fusion weld is the true solution.
GReyonods929 may be on to something on o.d. issue between IPS or CTS?
like i said. no experience
