Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or sealants not rated for polycarbonate.Always consult the material compatibility chart for polycarbonate and use only approved adhesives or sealants to prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening mechanical fittings, leading to stress cracking.Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mechanical fittings to avoid excessive stress on the pipe wall.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses and visual inspection systems
