Cleaned with acetone, sanded, cleaned again, pasted with JB WaterWeld. It gets really sticky after about 8-10 minutes. Not too easy to work with. Surface was a bit wet but not under pressure. I view this as a temp weld to get past the winter. Be nice and easy to dig further and install a new brass adapter and male PVC conversion so it stays inside the joint and doesn't crack. Dry weather an easy project. 32 degrees and muddy not so much.

I need to come off the pitless adapter threads, so no that's opposite, but I think this would: bucolic_frolic Dec 2021 #7
