I recently helped a fellow club member plumb his set up . I made up a 2" drain manifold with 3 ball valves and 3 tees. I made precision cuts and swabbed plenty of glue (new can). After a water test the manifold is leaking between the Ts. I did not use the primer but have done this many times without problems. Any help or idea on this. I'm at my wits end.
 
Yikes, WE recently had to redo all my plumbing because the ball valves were leaking. I dont really see how it could be leaving if you put glue. even without the primer i wouldent think it would leak.

Exactly. I've never had any nonpressure plumbing leak with or without the primer.
 
Mighty putty around seal to slow water down enough for salt creep to plug hole. Or jb weld maybe. I'm a king at rigging
 
only time ive ever had a leak was when i was trying to save space and cut the nipples too short so they didnt bottom out in the fittings.i cant see any other reason so maybe,just a guess.

Edit: Joseph,if youve ever seen any of Groupers work,you would know hes not gonna band-aid a leak with putty!silly,silly man!
