Installation Procedure

1. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean, free of debris, and appropriately chamfered. 2. Apply compatible solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. 3. Insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twist to ensure full contact and hold for the recommended set time. 4. Allow adequate cure time as specified by the solvent cement manufacturer before pressurizing.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong solvent cement for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated and recommended for polycarbonate, ensuring proper chemical compatibility.
Insufficient holding time after joining.Adhere strictly to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended holding time to allow initial bond formation before disturbing the joint.
Exceeding recommended pressure or temperature limits for polycarbonate.Consult the material datasheet for specific pressure and temperature ratings to avoid exceeding operational limits and ensure system integrity.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid monitoring systems
