Where can I find this Flex PVC that everyone is using for there pluming and do you use PVC Glue for the connection??
Look in Lowes. That's where I got mine. The Flex PVC uses normal PVC connectors, but there is "special" pvc glue for the flex stuff. The stuff I used was blue. Don't forget the primer.
Like I said I did use primer on flex before and on my last set up did not and its fine. The "blue stuff" I think you can use without primer anyways, I believe it says something about that on the can, I still have that can at my clients house and will check it. As it was put to me briefly, (cant find the other email), "Flex has more plasticizer in it. It melts but does not bond well with regular pvc. The primer melts the flex easily allowing it to deform and make a tight fit. Thicker cements have a higher solids content in them that help fill the gaps more like glue." I used primer with flex for the last couple years, so if it makes you more comfy use it
You can also make sweet custom bends with ridgid PVC, some heat and some sand.
Details?
I haven't done this. But I assume that you fill the pipes with sand, gently heat the pipe and bend it the way you want. The sand is to keep the pipe from kinking.

Exactly. It really helps if you tamp the sand down for quiet some time. Done right, it looks pretty slick, without any right angles.I haven't done this. But I assume that you fill the pipes with sand, gently heat the pipe and bend it the way you want. The sand is to keep the pipe from kinking.
