My siphon boxes on my Hurricane dual overflow have cracked. I want to take the bulkhead and plumbing out of them to use on another set up, but all of the pvc is cemented. Is there a way to take the plumbing apart without destroying it?

Probably not. What cracked on it? Why not get some Weld-on and fix the crack?

Might be a good time to drill that tank.

The PVC will break before the glue will. I agree with using weld on to repair the crack.

You will need to cut the pipe. Just leave enough of a tail to accept a coupler for reuse.
