Solvent Cements
Primers and cements are extremely flammable and may
be explosive. Do not store or use near heat or open
flame, or death or serious injury may occur.
• Solvent fumes created during the joining process are
heavier than air and may be trapped in newly installed
piping systems.
• Ignition of the solvent vapors caused by spark or flame
may result in injury or death from explosion or fire.
• Read and obey all manufacturers' warnings and any
instructions pertaining to primers and cements.
• Provide adequate ventilation to reduce fire hazard and
to minimize inhalation of solvent vapors when working
with cements, primers and new piping systems.
