Installation Procedure

1. Ensure mating surfaces of fittings are clean and free of debris. 2. Apply appropriate polycarbonate solvent cement to both the pipe end and fitting socket. 3. Quickly insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion, holding for initial set time as per cement manufacturer's instructions. 4. Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard PVC solvent cement, which is incompatible with polycarbonate and will lead to joint failure.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate pipe and fittings.
Prematurely pressurizing the system before the solvent cement has fully cured, compromising joint integrity.Adhere strictly to the cure time recommendations provided by the solvent cement manufacturer before introducing pressure.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses and visual flow indicators
  • Chemical processing and transfer systems
  • Laboratory and research equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate is susceptible to stress cracking when exposed to certain hydrocarbons and strong alkalis.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch the transparent surface, potentially compromising visual clarity.
