Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong solvent cement or adhesive.Always use a solvent cement or adhesive explicitly formulated for polycarbonate to prevent premature cracking or degradation.
Insufficient curing time before pressurization or stress.Allow the joint to cure fully according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions before subjecting the pipe to pressure or mechanical stress.

Common Applications
