Use And Care Manual

Installation of PVC and ABS Pipe and Fittings Systems
(1/2"–4" diameter)
Installation
APPLICATOR
Use an applicator that is one-half
the size of the pipe’s diameter.
COAT WITH PRIMER AND CEMENT
Only use primer on PVC. Primer is not
recommended on ABS. Apply a full, even
coat of cement on the outside diameter
of the pipe and to the inside hub of the
fitting, and again to the outside of the pipe.
JOIN & CURE
While the cement is fluid, insert the pipe
into fitting hub, giving a quarter turn
to ensure an even distribution of cement
within the joint. Allow the joint to cure prior
to hydrostatic testing. See the solvent
cement manufacturer’s recommendations.

REMOVE BURRS & BEVEL
Remove burrs and bevel (chamfer)
the end of the pipe 10˚-15.˚
CLEAN AND DRY
PIPE AND FITTINGS
Remove surface dirt, grease or
moisture with a clean, dry cloth.
DRY FIT
With light pressure, pipe should go
one-half to one-third of the way into
the fitting hub. Do not use pipe and
fittings that are too tight or too loose.
