Installation Procedure

1. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. 2. Apply appropriate solvent cement for polycarbonate to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. 3. Insert the pipe firmly into the fitting with a slight twist to ensure even cement distribution, holding for 30 seconds to prevent slippage. 4. Allow for adequate cure time as per solvent manufacturer's recommendations before pressurizing.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-free bond.
Insufficient holding time after assembly.Hold the pipe and fitting together firmly for at least 30 seconds to prevent the pipe from backing out of the fitting before the cement begins to set.
Failure to allow adequate cure time.Adhere strictly to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended cure times before subjecting the assembly to pressure or stress.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid conveying systems
  • Pressure sight glasses
  • Laboratory apparatus
  • Medical device components
  • Protective shielding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface and compromise optical clarity.
