In another thread where I gave instructions on how to cut double wall pipe, bholler let me know this is not OK. Thank you for that. It never occurred to me that I would not be able to cut it to length.
This seems like another one of those things that does not make a lot of sense. When I did it, I needed a section that was more than 18 but less than 24. I had a 12-18 adjustable section and an 18" section leftover that I had dropped on the concrete and smashed the end that I eventually cut off.
So, I either run to the store to get a 6" section or cut what I already had. It fit together wonderfully snug after I cut and crimped it... much better than the factory fit. I know that doesn't matter when it comes to code.
Is there a reason I am missing that makes this a bad idea (unsafe in any way) and should I bother to swap it out with a 6" section next time I take the pipes apart?
The homemade section is part of the 45 run in this picture.
