Technical Specifications

INSTALLATION
Preparation: Plastic piping systems should be installed and operated in accordance with established design, standards and
procedures for plastic pipe systems. Suitability for the intended service application should be determined by the installer
and/or user prior to installation of plastic piping system. Prior to assembly, all piping system components should be inspected
for damage or irregularities. Mating components should be checked to assure that tolerances and engagements are
compatible. Do not use any components that appear irregular or do not fit properly. Contact the appropriate manufacturer
of the component product in question to determine usability.
Solvent Weld Connections:
Kbi recommends the use of a quality grade primer and solvent cement formulated for the type of
connection, with the the correct size applicator. Read and follow all of the solvent cement manufacturer's application and
cure time instructions thoroughly. Avoid puddling or excessive cement or primer to sockets. Limited application of cement
and primer will insure that excess cement and primer are not introduced into the system.
Threaded Connections:
Kbi
recommends the use of teflon tape or a quality grade thread sealant on MIPT and BSP threads.
NEVER use any teflon tape or sealant on Acme threads. Warning: some pipe joint compounds or teflon pastes may contain
substances that could cause stress cracking to the plastic. Select the appropriate sealant and follow the manufacturer's
application and installation instructions. 1 or 2 turns beyond finger tight is generally all that is required to make a sound
plastic threaded connection. Over tightening will cause damage to both pipe and fitting.
