Can this be used on the plastic water line itself till it meets the pvc line

I used it as such recently when we had those sub zero degree days. Keep in mind that it does not get SUPER hot, so though it wont melt right through the plastic, if left on for a long period of time (days/weeks), it can destroy the integrity of the plastic and possibly make it "droopy" or bend slightly as the cable has some weight to it. I'd say , fom experiance, if such a pipe is freezing and/or frozen, using it to thaw the pipe should cause no issues. I'll check the installation guide that came with it and if it happens to say different, I will repost. FYI : it works great on standard copper piping and such.

As long as you have adequate diameter, I don't see why not. You may need to fasten it securely to the PVC.

It says it's good on PVC but doesn't say plastic in particular. My thought is it should be good but it is just a primer, not a finish coat

I used it with rigid PVC on a pool filter, but assuming the flex PVC has the same OD as rigid PVC; it would attach the same - use PVC primer, adhesive and slip together.

The unit comes with a push and seal connector for 3/8" plastic water line. If you don't want to use this connector simply unscrew it and it leaves a threaded pipe to connect to.

Probably. I haven't had to do that yet. Also i don't know about using flex tubing. It calls for pvc pipe,thats what i used.

It will work on PVC and some plastics. I don't think it would work well on harder plastics as I am sure these bits would chip it badly.

Yes, provided that the line has threaded ends that match the size of the valve you are using. I use braided lines too.

The siphon part would work but I don't know how hot of water you want to use since with the plastic.

Yes. The line has to be attached, so if you found a longer compatible line, it can be attached.

It says "Do not use on plastics unless pre-approved by the manufacturer of the plastic to be treated..." I'm guessing that's a no.

It actually works a bit better on plastic. Should not affect your chlorinization.

This is ment to be plumbed in to the main line. I'm sure its possible to use hoses given the right adaptors.

The unit's compatible with pvc. You'll have to stabilize the pvc input and outflow so that you can unscrew the canister from the cap. I did it with a couple of wooden blocks and some metal plumbers tape.

I dont think it would, you can use this to create taps from a main line. But, I think you need need to get a larger main line to get enough water pressure to water the area. I wouldn't use a

I used mighty putty to bond plastic to plastic and plastic to metal to stop the leak that the plumber left for me. It is still holding and no longer leaking. I never used it on fabric or silicone

Keep in mind I'm just a do-it-yourselfer homeowner, not a plumbing/sprinkler professional. For attaching to PVC, I used (1"?) threaded adapters (wrapped PVC threads with Teflon tape) with appropriate sized outlet. Tape and tighten threaded adapters, dry fit PVC pieces then clean/glue. In my case, I assembled to sprinkler system inlet PVC first then to the outlet plumbing to assure alignment between Febco adapter/outlet and sprinkler PVC line (that is, between the downstream portion of the Febco and existing PVC). If you expect sub-freezing temps, I've used heat tape/insulation around inlet/outlet valves and body. Febco has downloadable freezing precautions.
