Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining methods, such as standard PVC cement on polycarbonate.Utilize solvent cements specifically formulated for polycarbonate or employ approved mechanical joining techniques like O-ring seals or flanged connections.
Exceeding the maximum pressure or temperature rating for polycarbonate.Always consult the manufacturer's detailed specifications and the system's operating parameters to ensure the pipe is not overstressed.
