Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements.Consult the polycarbonate pipe manufacturer's compatibility chart for approved solvent cements.
Over-tightening threaded fittings.Hand-tighten fittings and then apply an additional quarter to half turn, avoiding excessive force which can crack the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses and flow indicators
  • Pressure vessels and containment
  • Protective shielding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without UV stabilizers.
  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents not listed as compatible, as they can cause crazing or dissolution.
