Installation Procedure

1. Ensure pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Cut pipe to length using a fine-tooth saw or pipe cutter. 2. Deburr both the inside and outside edges of the cut pipe ends. 3. Apply appropriate polycarbonate solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. Immediately insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twist and hold for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard PVC cement on polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten threaded fittings, then use a wrench for an additional quarter to half turn. Avoid excessive force.

Common Applications

  • Visual flow monitoring systems
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Pneumatic conveying systems
  • Protective fluid conduits

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-pressure steam applications.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
