If those pipes in the pic. are in the same immovable position as originally connected it's no wonder it broke (stressed). I suggest you follow the suggestion of going to HD and getting new pipe and fittings and don't try to force a union of connections before finally gluing in place (PVC glue). Just my 0.2c.The break occurred right at the unit in my attic. I found it because the drip pan was full of water etch triggered the float switch which turned off the ac.
Can I get away with using epoxy here? Worst case is that it would leak and fill the drip pan again, right?
Normally I would just replace the pvc pipe that broke, but the job would be somewhat more involved in this case.
that's right!!!You can't glue that, and expect it to not leak again, creating a mess. Go buy replacement parts, and get a pvc union, no biggie.
Lowes sells a wrap that hardens like steel, it would work well with what you have.The break occurred right at the unit in my attic. I found it because the drip pan was full of water etch triggered the float switch which turned off the ac.
