Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the pipe ends are clean, free of debris, and properly chamfered to facilitate insertion and sealing. 2. Apply the appropriate solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to both the pipe end and the fitting socket, following the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Immediately insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of the cement, and hold firmly in place until set begins.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically designed and recommended for bonding polycarbonate materials to ensure a strong, reliable joint.
Insufficient curing time before pressurizing the system.Allow the solvent cement to cure fully according to the cement manufacturer's recommended timeframes before subjecting the pipe and fittings to operational pressure.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses in fluid handling systems
  • Chemical processing and transfer lines
  • Pneumatic conveying systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during solvent cement application to avoid inhalation of fumes.
