can you remove threads from a pvc pipe
Threaded fittings on PVC are intended to connect to existing, threaded NON-PVC connectors, such as galvanized pipe or fittings. When connecting PVC to PVC it should all be glue joints without threads. You have the wrong type of fitting.Fittings are very cheap, much cheaper than adapters.ou should, instead, get a slip to thread adapter and glue it onto the pipe to thread it wherever you like. Any big-box hardware store or irrigation department should be able to provide this adapter.
