7. Join Pipe and
Fittings
• Assemble pipe and
fittings quickly
while cement is
fluid.
• Insert pipe into
fitting hub until it
contacts socket
bottom. Give pipe
a quarter turn.
Hold pipe and
fitting together until the pipe does not back out.
• See table for recommended cure times.
•Remove excessive cement from the exterior. A properly
made joint will show a continuous bead of cement around
the perimeter.
Threaded Joint
When combining plastic and metal threaded systems, it is
recommended that plastic male threads be screwed into metal
female threads rather than metal male threads into plastic
female threads.
6. Coat Surfaces
with Primer and
Cement
• Apply primer to
PVC pipe and
fitting surfaces. Do
not allow primer to
puddle inside sys-
tem. Primer should
conform to ASTM
F 656. The use of
primer for ABS is
not recommended.
• Apply cement to
pipe and fitting
surfaces while still
wet with primer.
Do not allow
cement to puddle
inside system.
Solvent cement
should conform to
ASTM D 2564 for
PVC systems,
ASTM D 2235 for
ABS systems.
