Installation Procedure

1. Ensure pipe ends are clean, free of debris, and properly chamfered. 2. Apply appropriate solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. 3. Immediately insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out; hold for 30 seconds to prevent push-out. 4. Wipe away excess cement with a clean cloth.
