If the ends are PVC, then it might, but I would ask the people at lowes before you buy it.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Quack damn you.
Quack damn you.

It says the fittings are PVC, so probably yes. You might have to take extra care though, since I don't know what solvent spilt on the flexible bit will do.

Maybe. I have used threaded pvc to connect interchangeable barrels, so it might work.

Wait, the PVC itself doesn't have threads on it? If it doesn't, then no...and if it doesn't, make sure both pieces are either tapered or not tapered.
Regardless, you do want to use Teflon tape once you've found something that'll work.
