Mating PVC to Dust Collector Inlet

[Cbozz]

Just a reminder that heating PVC can throw off some nasty chemicals if it gets too hot or starts to burn. If it were me I'd probably look into using polypropylene or ABS for a short connection.

Boiling water is only 212 degrees, unless under pressure.

Boiling water is only 212 degrees, unless under pressure.

But if you're setting it on end in a pan that's still on the burner, it might get into a dangerous range where it's in contact with the bottom of the pan. Depending on the volume of water and intensity of the heat source.

And I'm frankly not sure at what temperature it starts throwing off dioxins. 212 very well could do it, as regular PVC is not allowed for hot water plumbing.

Edit: just looked it up. 280ish degrees to start decomposing. Hot water is probably OK but for sure keep it off the bottom of the pan. And I definitely wouldn't use a heat gun.

Get the water to boiling, turn off flame, then set pipe in water. PVC isn't allowed for hot water. You use CPVC instead.
