Adding a CPVC fitting in an existing water line - exposed to water too soon?
I'm cutting into an existing CPVC water line to add an outside sillcock.
I shut the water off and drained the system as best I could. I cut into the existing pipe and, after it stopped dripping, I wiped it dry and cemented in a new CPVC Tee for my sillcock. About 2 minutes later, water (apparently still draining from in the house), started to run out of the Tee. Could this water have compromised the integrity of the new cement bond? (It wasn't under pressure, just residual water draining past the newly cemented joints.)
Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.
