Installation Procedure

1. Ensure all mating surfaces of the pipe and fittings are clean and free of debris. 2. Apply appropriate solvent cement specifically designed for polycarbonate to both the pipe end and the fitting socket, following the cement manufacturer's instructions. 3. Insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out, holding firmly for the recommended set time. 4. Allow adequate cure time before subjecting the system to pressure.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong solvent cement.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and prevent material degradation.
Inadequate surface preparation.Thoroughly clean and optionally 'dull' the pipe end and fitting socket with a clean cloth and primer (if recommended by cement manufacturer) to promote optimal bonding.
Insufficient holding time after assembly.Adhere strictly to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended set time and cure time before applying any pressure to the system to prevent joint failure.
