Yes, I am having a great success with this unit, it has been extremely cold winter, it has keep my pipes from freezing. Very easy to install

Yes , it could be used on PVC pipe, it doesn't get hot enough to damage PVC pipe.

My water line is heavy gauge black plastic and this product is fine for the application if covering the pipe from the ground to where the line enters the insulated floor of my home. The application is pretty specific. ..follow the directions carefully. Good luck. Sam

Yes, it can be installed on PVC, copper, iron or galvanized pipe up to one and one half inch in diameter.

Not sure. Would have to ask the manufacturer. I used on regular water pipes.

I would use a PVC pipe instead. But I guess it depends on how you want to attach the hose to the barrel

Just use standard pvc cleaner, primer and cement as you would with any pvc plumbing.

Yes I have used this in the manner you described. However, the connector between the 2 sections are badly mad, requiring you to constantly re-tightening the coupling. I have found that a home-made contraption made with PVC pipes purchased at Home Depot works just as well, for less than $20. Hope this helps.

I had no luck with a PVC pipe joint partially due to not being able to work in close quarters with dirt in a hole and getting a fit around the joint. It leaked way bad, but the wrap dried solid! Just not against the PVC pipe.

I don't know if it would work on something that is as flexible as the Pocket hose. I have only used it on pvc pipes that do not move. It's worth a try, I think. A friend of mine has had the same problem as you are having with the Pocket hose...with three hoses! But she didn't want to try the Sealer. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.

Personally, I would use PVC regardless, I'm sure it would work, but the paper tube may bow over time

I used it in the kitchen and I go from brass to PVC (plastic) drain pipes. It did not hurt either of them. Be sure to use as directed. It works great!

no. i tested this in a three foot piece on pvc pipe, and it did not make a good strong force at the other end. the force was stronger without this product.

I wouldn't use it on any type of plastic pipe. These things have a good bite to them and will more than likely damage your pipe. Maybe a cut up bicycle tube between the pipe and jaws of the tool?!? Otherwise your probably going to leave marks on the surface. Clamp too tight and you can crush the pipe. I use these to compress steel split ring bushings.

I've used it on the pvc in pool plumbing with great success. Under high pressure as well. If the skimmer is the right kind of plastic it will do the job for sure.

This can be installed on PVC pipes, copper and metal. The magnet has two screws that hold the unit in place on the pipe.

I am sure it is because I have used it in a sink that has a coating that could be damaged. Also if you couldn't use it on PVC it would really limit it's use. It is a good cleaner for drains and I have been using it for a long time. You may contact Mfr. to be absolutely positive.

I have never tried mine on a pvc pipe or fitting. I would not buy one just for this unless the pipe is almost impossible to replace. I have used mine to repair plastic parts that are expensive to replace or no longer made. The welder is great for the jobs I have used it for but I have not used it to repair a pipe that would be subject to water or air pressure.

I haven't ever used it on multiple pipes but I don' know any reason why not.
