Hi Stan ...


a common practice used in glueing metal parts to other nonporous
surfaces is to drill a few small holes in the pipe and allow the glue to
push up into and over the holes ( like mushrooms)  slightly filling the
tubes a bit    be sure to rough up the inside of the PVC  with some 80
grit paper to increase adherance strength on the plastic side     a 15
min epoxy works well   and if you are really good at keeping epoxies
from running    try JB Weld   ( be cautioned tho  it contains metallic
parts that WILL conduct) 


also it sounds like you may need to cool your assy a bit with a muffin
fan ( the fans used to cool computer power supplies)
