Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard PVC solvent cement instead of polycarbonate-specific solvent cement.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and joint integrity.
Insufficient curing time before subjecting the joint to pressure or stress.Allow adequate curing time for the solvent cement, as per the manufacturer's recommendations, before placing the pipe system into service.

Common Applications
