flex tube glue question

[polywise]

Can this tubing be glued to slip bulkhead fittings versus using threaded fittings with barbs? I am trying eliminate the internal cross section reduction when a barb fitting is used.

I want to glue the OD of one end of 2" of white flex tubing to the ID of a 2" slip bulk head, and then do the same on the other end, except it will be to the ID of a check valve.

If you are talking about spaflex pvc then yes. They make special cement for it but you can use regular pvc cement as well. This is what I am using for my drains.

cmantis,
Are you gluing the OD of the spaflex to the slip ID of a bulk head?

You can. I am actually using hard pvc going into a union then the spaflex.
