 |  Undoing PVC pipe
Hello all, I am moving soon and i was woundering how i can take my 1 1/2 inch PVC drain to my sump apart. When i set it up i glued it together so im not sure to go about undoing it easily. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks. |

Sometimes, and I do mean sometimes you can take it off with two pipe wrenches I have done this to my used tank to remove what the guy before put in and I was very lucky.
