Cut the PVC,(PolyVinylChloride), pipe before the 'collar', and after it so you have two clean ends, with a hacksaw. Deburr the two ends with a knife on the edges, and a swipe with some fine sandpaper won't hurt either! Clean the ends back about an inch on both pipe ends with PVC pipe cleaner,(comes in a kit that has cleaner, primer, and glue), then use the purple primer, do the same. Do this to the collar on both sides. Put glue on each pipe end, swabbing it around, and inside the collar. Put the collar on one pipe end, give it half a twist on the pipe, push the other pipe in the collar, and hold them together for about 60 seconds. Wait 20 minutes at least before you turn the water on, and if this goes to the shower, or drinking water, run it for a few minutes to flush.

If you placong to PVC pipes together you should have a locking system with a washer ring. The washer ring is plastic and has a "V" cut on the outside. You take the locking system and V ring and place in onto on end on the first pipe. Then where the pipe meets the other pipe the ring with mesh with the other pipe and you tighten down the locking ring.
Or, if there is no way of doing this then use PVC glue and glue the two ends together.
