[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 437229, member: 13599"] I have 1/2" [b]CPVC[/b] for my spray rail but I forgot how I got it to fit. (it will be a couple of weeks before I can check it). here are the measurements for the outside of the pipe: [b]1/2" CPVC = 0.62" or 5/8" 3/4" CPVC = 0.87" or 7/8" 1/2" PVC = 0.84" or 27/32"[/b] if you can find a piece of [b]1/2" CPVC[/b] pipe, gently heat the end and roll it between two pieces of lumber to decrease the diameter. roll it back and forth until it cools. (I just tried that method and it only decreases the diameter about a 1/16". so you may have to be more aggressive in filing down the pipe and reaming out the fitting until something fits). or - go to another style of fitting. another idea: if you take a saw, like a coping saw or hacksaw and cut a cross into the end of the pipe maybe an inch or so it should squeeze together enough to slide into the fitting . . . some PVC glue would hold it all together.
