Hi Oren,

Ah, that's a good idea (I already have the raw materials for that!).

As for a more permanent fix, what do you think about me putting
one of these 3/4" slip-to-MHT (male hose thread?) fittings directly
onto the white-and-green part sticking out of the existing PVC elbow?

That seems to be a looser fit than a normal PVC pipe dry fit; but
with lots of "glue", I think it might work.

Is it possible to pry out that green endcap & just place the slip
fitting over the remaining white part? (Or do I need to cut off
the entire elbow and start again with the slip:slip coupling)?

See my post on a drip line manifold (2).

UPDATE:

I took one of the simplest routes possible; just to see if it
would work.
http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/13435780.jpg

I glued a slip-to-MHT (male hose thread) directly onto the tubing
friction fitting, using lots of the PVC solvent (since it was a
loose fit, probably because God never intended me to glue a fitting
on the outside of the tubing friction fitting):
http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/13435779.jpg

Mostly I did it this way because, if the tubing press fitting isn't
actually made of PVC, and if it therefore fails, I'll just cut it all
off and, by doing so, only lose one fitting in the test.

Interestingly, using normal PVC primer & glue, it *seems* to be
holding up.

I'm not presented with that option. I just get the photo. I can use
the browser to zoom to 400% though.

Lucky you. What nntp client are you using?
Mine (Pan) just shows the URL. Nothing else.
So I have to click on each and every photo to see them.

Maybe I should switch nntp clients to what you're using.

...or my keyboard or mouse that has a zoom.

Nothin' having to do with the NNTP client - open the link!

My client is Forte Agent... launch the browser from the link in the

Yes. I wasn't clear in my reply.
