Hi, I watched Mike's video on using pvc expansion fittings and I have some questions.
I don't understand how to set it!
Let's say I have a 40-50 1.5" run of PVC with a temperature range of 100F according to the chart I should see a expansion of up to 2" but when it comes to setting the joint for temperature it says to set it 3/4 in the barrel on a hot day. (which it is now 86F)
Is that 3/4 of the total 2" travel or just 3/4 of the way in the barrel regardless of the total PVC run?
