has anyone grooved 10in sch 80 pvc pipe and if so can you tell me how it worked out. I have a job coming up and would like to groove it rather then glueing it.

Mike, I grooved some 6" pipe and used an o-ring in the groove. My application was for a vacuum dust collector system. It has worked well, plus I can take it apart if I need to.

I can see how it would work on a vaccum system but what about 40-50 lbs of pressure?
