Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not specified for Nylon.Always use a high-quality solvent cement specifically formulated for Nylon pipe to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond.
Insufficient curing time before pressurizing the system.Allow the solvent cemented joints to cure for the manufacturer's recommended time (typically 24 hours for full strength) before introducing pressure.

Common Applications
