How To Solvent Weld

Prior to Use:

Read all product labels carefully.

Stir or shake cement before using. If gelled, do

not use. Keep container closed when not in use.

Avoid eye and skin contact. Wear safety glasses

with side shields and wear rubber gloves.

1. Cut pipe ends square, Deburr the inside and

Chamfer the outside of pipe ends, remove all dirt

from pipe ends and  tting hubs.

2. Interference  t between pipe and  tting hub

must be completed prior to primer and cement

application. Pipe should easily go 1/3 to 2/3 the

way into the  tting hub.

3. Choose suitable application at least ½ the size of

the pipe diameter. For larger pipe diameters, use

a natural bristle brush or roller.

4. Clean pipe and  tting hub with a listed cleaner.

5. First apply primer inside the  tting hub, then the

exterior of pipe end and once again the  tting hub.

• Once the primer has been applied to both

surfaces, the cement must be applied

within 5 minutes. If not, you MUST prime

the surfaces again before applying cement.

• Do Not use primer on ABS pipe and  ttings.

6. First apply liberal coat of cement to exterior of the

pipe end beyond  tting hub depth, then inside the

 tting hub and once again to the outside of the

pipe end.

• Remember that a thin coating of cement

is recommended inside the  tting hub

to prevent puddling. Puddling can cause

weakening and lead to joint failure.

• Assembly parts QUICKLY. Cement must be

 uid. Dried cement CANNOT be re-coated.

7. Turn pipe ¼ of turn as you push the pipe end into the  tting hub.

8. Make sure pipe end bottoms out inside the  tting hub and hold for 30 seconds to prevent push-out. Wipe

off excess cement

• Lower temperatures and larger diameter pipes may need a little extra hold time

• Allow 15 minutes for good handling strength and 2 hours cure time at temperatures above 60°F

before pressure testing up to 180 psi. Longer cure times may be required at temperatures below

60°F or with pipe above 3”. DO NOT TEST WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS.

HOW TO

SOLVENT WELD

WITH SOLVENT CEMENTS

Pipe Types

CPVC: Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride

Typically used for pressure piping

applications, including hot and cold potable

water distribution. Can also be used for

corrosive  uid handling in industrial or

chemical applications.

ABS: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

Typically used for non-pressure piping

applications.

PVC: Poly Vinyl Chloride

Typically used for pressure or non-pressure

piping applications.

Solvent Cements for any

Application

If you need to solvent weld one pipe joint or one

thousand, Oatey is the solvent cement more

professionals choose than any other brand.

From hot to cold, wet to dry, Oatey has the

solvent cement to meet your exact requirement

for any plastic pipe installation.

Set Up & Curing Times The set up/cure time is dependent on several factors. The pipe size, socket fit, ambient temperature, relative humidity, solvent cement used and the system operating pressure should all be considered when determining set up/cure times. Average Handling/Set Up Times for PVC/CPVC Solvent Cements ½" to 1¼" 1½" to 3" 4" to 5" 6" to 8" PVC & ABS Pipe Diameter ½" to 1¼" 1½" to 3" 4" to 5" Handling/Set Up Time is the time required prior to handling the joint.
