PRECAUTIONS
Read all information carefully before using this product.
DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. VAPORS MAY CAUSE
FLASH FIRES. MAY IRRITATE EYES AND SKIN. VAPOR HARMFUL.
MAY IRRITATE RESPIRATORY TRACT AND CAUSE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF
SWALLOWED.
May cause irritation to eyes, skin, and nose, throat, and
respiratory tract. May cause coughing, sore throat, difficulty
breathing, headache, dizziness, nausea. Long term repeated
overexposures to solvents may cause damage to the brain,
nervous system, reproductive system, respiratory system,
mucous membranes, liver, and kidneys. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
FIRST AID: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Drink
water and call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
This product may be aspirated into the lungs and cause chemical
pneumonitis, a potentially fatal condition. If contact with eyes,
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention if
irritation persists. If contact with skin, flush with water and then
use baby oil or hand cleaner to remove residue. If inhaled and ill
feelings develop, get fresh air and obtain medical attention if ill
feelings persist. FOR EMERGENCY FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS
CALL 1-877-740-5015.
FIRE: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguisher.
Water spray may be applied to reduce potential vapors or for
cooling. Burning liquid extinguished with water will float and
may re-ignite on surface of water.
SPILLS: Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area.
Personnel cleaning up the spill should wear appropriate personal
protective equipment, including respirators if vapor
concentrations are high. Soak up spill with absorbent material.
Put absorbent material in covered, labeled metal containers.
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
A fire or explosion may result if dry granular calcium
hypochlorite is used to disinfect plastic piping systems and is
exposed to organic vapors found in solvent cements, cleaners or
primers. Do not disinfect piping system with dry granules. Do
not store dry granular calcium hypochlorite near solvent
cements, cleaners or primers. DO NOT REUSE EMPTY
CONTAINER. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Refer to material safety data sheet for more information.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Read all directions carefully before using this product.
• Do not breathe vapors. Use only in well ventilated area. If
forced air ventilation is used, be sure it does not cause a fire
hazard from solvent vapors. If adequate ventilation cannot be
provided, wear a NIOSH-approved respirator for organic
solvents. • Do not use or store near heat, sparks, or flames.
Do not smoke, eat or drink when using. Do not take internally.
Vapors may accumulate in low places and may ignite
explosively. • Store and use at temperatures between 40ºF
and 110ºF. At temperatures outside of this range, special care
must be taken to prepare good joints and prevent exposures
to solvents. • Stir or shake before using; if jelly-like, don’t use.
Keep container closed when not in use. • Avoid eye and skin
contact - wear safety glasses with side shields and wear
rubber gloves. • Do not thin.
1. Square pipe ends and remove all burrs and dirt.
2. Check dry fit of pipe and fitting. Pipe should easily go 1/3
of the way into the fitting. If the pipe bottoms, it should
be snug.
3. Use a suitable applicator at least 1/2 the size of the pipe
diameter. For larger size pipe systems use a natural
bristle brush or roller.
4. Clean pipe and fitting with a listed primer. Where local
codes permit, priming step is not necessary for non-
pressure pipe less than 4” diameter.
5. Apply liberal coat of cement to pipe to the depth of the
socket; leave no uncoated surface.
6. Apply a thin coat of cement to inside of fitting; avoid
puddling of cement. Puddling can cause weakening and
premature failure of pipe or fitting. Apply a second coat
of cement to the pipe.
7. Assemble parts QUICKLY. Cement must be fluid. If
cement surface has dried, recoat both parts.
8. Push pipe FULLY into fitting using a 1/4 turning motion
until pipe bottoms.
9. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds to prevent
pipe push-out – longer at low temperatures. Wipe off
excess.
10. Allow 15 minutes for good handling strength and 2 hours
cure time at temperatures above 60ºF before hydrostatic
pressure testing up to 180 psi. Longer cure times may be
required at temperatures below 60ºF or with pipe
diameters over 3”. DO NOT TEST WITH AIR.
This product is not for use with caustic or acidic chemical
solutions. Consult Technical Department for more
information.
Before purc
hase and use of a product, review the product application and be
certain the product, installation and use will be in compliance with any applicable codes and regulations.
