"How do I glue PVC fittings and valves to the pipe?"
Most PVC manufacturers recommend that the installer follow the instructions for the cement and primer that is being used. Their instructions are usually found on the label of the container.
"What does Comp x Comp, Fips x Fips and Solv x Solv mean?"
Solv x Solv = solvent (glue to hold in place) type; Comp x Comp = compression style is easy to install; Fips x Fips = is threaded (female) style.
"Spring vs Swing?"
Spring loaded means it has a spring. It tends to seal better (best for potable water pumps), but the spring will wear out easier and does take more pressure to open it. A swing check works on the gravity principle (more reliable in the long run), and it take less pressure to open it (best for sump, pond, fountain, sewage pumps). A swing check should only be mounted horizontally (a spring check may be installed horizontally or vertically with the water flow going up).
