Schedule 80 Stuck Need Help

[killrblue]

This is my first time working with plumbing. I just received my schedule 80 plumbing from BRS. I was just dry fitting them and now the elbow and spigot are stuck together, same size 3/4. I have tried putting them in the fridge for 10mins, using cold soapy water and it just won't come apart or twist. Any ideas to take it apart? Does someone have two strap wrenches I can borrow, hopefully near me?

 

Thanks,

John

Oppiste of fridge, stry putting the outer site, what had something "fitted into it", in boiling water for about 30 sec. then you should be able to pop them right apart, if not repeate the same using channel locks, large pliers or something of the like to hold one part, also if you have one of those little rubber pads for opening rtight jars those will give you some extra grip. I get pvc esp sched 80 stuck to getehr every once in a while, never had a tie where I couldn't un-stuck them

Yep, hot water should do the trick. Heat expands, cold constricts.
