Hi,
So im working on fixing my large sewer clean out pipe for the sewer connection that comes out of the ground. Its a large turquoise colored pipe that appears to be 4", so i got a 4" fitting at the store today but it does not fit the pipe, The fitting is the same size as the old fitting, its white also, has 4" on the side of it but yet it wont fit the pipe.
Is it possible they put glue on the pipe to soften it or heated it up to soften it and then put the fitting on there. Maybe 4" turquoise colored pipe is different than white pvc pipe. I think im using a schedule 27 fitting. Threads on one end and a female on the other end, it should just slide over the pipe but its the exact same size as the pipe, so i dont know how they got the old one on there. I had to cut it off to make it shorter so my hoses would drain.
see pic.... do i need to get some kind of adapter fitting, i think maybe that pipe up inside the coupling is smaller. So how do i fix it now that its cut off. Is there a special fitting to adapt it back.
