Installation Procedure

1. Ensure pipe ends are clean, free of burrs, and properly chamfered. 2. Apply appropriate solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. 3. Insert the pipe firmly into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to ensure even cement distribution. Hold for 30 seconds to set. 4. Allow adequate cure time according to the solvent cement manufacturer's specifications before pressurizing the system.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard PVC/CPVC solvent cementAlways use a solvent cement specifically designed and approved for bonding polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-proof joint.
Insufficient cure time before system operationStrictly adhere to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended cure times to prevent joint failure under pressure or stress.
Exposing to temperatures outside polycarbonate's rated rangeVerify that operating temperatures of the fluid and environment remain within the specified limits for polycarbonate to avoid deformation or degradation.

Common Applications

  • Corrosive chemical transport
  • High-impact fluid conveyance systems
  • Sight glasses and visual inspection tubes

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to solvents or chemicals not compatible with polycarbonate.
  • Ensure operating temperatures are within the manufacturer's specified limits for polycarbonate.
