schedule 5 pipe repair

[coarts]

Is anyone familiar with the old Poz-Lok system using sch 5 thinwall pipe? We need to make repairs to pipe in this system and fittings are no longer available. Any ideas of how to connect this sch 5 to regular sch 40 or sch 10? What would be ul approved method-- possible slip fittings? Any help is appreciated.

Can you roll groove Sch 05? If so, how about roll groove in the air?

How will a different schedule of pipe affect the calculations? It may be a concern if you are replacing large sections.

This is just small sections of 1" sch 5 pipe that need to be replaced because of a leak.

I am familiar with Poz-Lock and while I never bought into that idea I did try Victaulic's Press-Fit on a few jobs.

You'd have to rent a tool and purchase some fittings but it's sch. 5.
