Installation Procedure

1. Clean both the pipe ends and the fitting sockets thoroughly with a compatible solvent cleaner. 2. Apply a uniform layer of appropriate polycarbonate primer to the pipe end and inside the fitting socket. 3. Apply a liberal, even coat of polycarbonate solvent cement to both primed surfaces. 4. Immediately insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out, then give a quarter-turn twist and hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent joint push-out. 5. Wipe away excess cement with a clean, dry cloth.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cement or primer.Always consult the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific polycarbonate pipe and fittings to ensure compatibility of solvent cements and primers.
Insufficient or uneven application of solvent cement.Apply a liberal and even coat of cement to both surfaces being joined to ensure a complete molecular bond.
Not holding the joint firmly after assembly.Maintain firm pressure on the joint for at least 30 seconds after assembly to prevent the pipe from pushing out of the fitting as the cement begins to set.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Sight glasses and flow monitoring
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and chemical-resistant gloves, when handling solvent cements and primers.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area when using solvent cements and primers to avoid inhalation of hazardous fumes.
  • Allow adequate cure time for solvent cement joints before subjecting them to pressure to ensure a strong and leak-free connection.
