How do you glue metal to PVC pipe?

A: You can’t glue PVC pipe directly to metal pipe of any type. PVC cement creates a solvent bond with plastic only, and doesn’t adhere to metal. If your code allows it, the pipe can be inserted into a rubber seal that fits inside the hub, then sealed in place with a sealant specifically made for this application.

What’s the best way to grease a coupling?

Measure the pipe diameters before buying your coupling. Cut the ends off both pipes so that they are smooth and even. Jagged or uneven ends might work, but they are more difficult to work with than smooth ends. Apply a thin coat of plumber’s grease, about 1 inch wide, around the end of each pipe.
