INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
WARNING! To reduce the risk of death or serious injury,
read and follow important safety, installation and application
information at www.charlottepipe.com
For additional safety, installation and application information
please call 800-438-6091. You may also get information
24 hours a day by calling our fax-on-demand number at
800-745-9382 or by visiting our website at
www.charlottepipe.com.
Failure to follow safety and installation instructions may
result in death, serious injury or property damage.
Pipe or fittings may be damaged by contact with
products containing incompatible chemicals, resulting
in property damage.
• Verify that paints, thread sealants, lubricants, plasticized
PVC products, foam insulations, caulks, leak detectors,
insecticides, termiticides, antifreeze solutions, pipe
sleeve, firestop materials or other materials are
chemically compatible with ABS, PVC, or CPVC.
• Do not use edible oils such as Crisco
®
for lubricant.
• Confirm compatibility of pipe marking adhesive tape
with the manufacturer of the tape to ensure chemical
compatibility with CPVC pipe and fittings.
Exceeding recommended torque for threaded
connections may result in component damage, system
failure, and property damage.
Never use thread sealant when installing a P-Trap or a
Trap adapter with a plastic or metallic nut. Use of thread
sealants could cause seal separation or cause damage to
the fitting through over-tightening.
Maximum wrench-tightness is two turns past finger
tight. Plastic or metal nuts should be tightened with a
strap wrench only. Never use common wrenches or tools
designed for metallic pipe systems.
