Doesn't look like there was much glue there in the first place. I always use primer when, on the rare occasion, I use flex pipe. Not sure why flex was used beyond the fact that it is easy to work with or maybe there is a reason for its use in NJ. You can get small quantities of BLUE glue and primer at Home Depot. Should be an easy repair.

A,

I agree with poolman... Just re-glue it and see what happens..

Thanks,

Since it's flex pipe and cycolac (abs) give it 12 hours to dry before pressurizing.

You can disconnect the union if that makes it easier to glue. Then, reconnect after the glue is dry.

Dis-connect the union so that you can give the joint a quarter turn immediately after applying the cement and joining the pieces together. This help in distributing the cement evenly around the joint.
