Installation Procedure

1. Ensure pipe ends are clean, free of debris, and properly chamfered. 2. Apply appropriate polycarbonate adhesive to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. 3. Insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion until it reaches the bottom of the socket, holding firmly for the adhesive's set time as per manufacturer instructions.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect adhesive for polycarbonate.Always use a specialized solvent cement formulated specifically for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-free bond.
Over-tightening fittings during assembly.Polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking. Hand-tighten fittings and use appropriate torque wrenches if specified, avoiding excessive force.

Common Applications

  • Laboratory fluid transfer systems
  • Industrial sight glasses and flow indicators
  • Low-pressure chemical handling where visual monitoring is critical

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not rated for high-pressure or high-temperature applications beyond polycarbonate's chemical resistance chart.
  • Avoid exposure to strong UV radiation for extended periods, which can degrade polycarbonate over time without proper UV inhibitors.
