I just plumed an Eshopps overflow box drain to a pvc pipe and leak test before gluing shows a slow drip leak. Will gluing the pvc in stop the leak ?
Thanks so much!yes. use separate primer and cement for the best bond

Why not? I did when I setup my tank 2 years ago... What the risk?Do not use primer on the abs bulkheads.

Nearly all bulkheads are abs. Pretty sure eshopps are.it’s pvc he said.
The primer softens the material. Good if your PVC, bad if your ABS. Says it on the glue instructions. Also the primer will increase pushback on abs partsWhy not? I did when I setup my tank 2 years ago... What the risk?
Also dry all fittings thoroughly, before primer or glue. I use no primer, blue glueI just plumed an Eshopps overflow box drain to a pvc pipe and leak test before gluing shows a slow drip leak. Will gluing the pvc in stop the leak ?

It also depends on the type of primer. Almost every all-purpose primer I've worked with states explicitly that it's OK to use with abs.The primer softens the material. Good if your PVC, bad if your ABS. Says it on the glue instructions. Also the primer will increase pushback on abs parts
