Installation Procedure

1. Ensure mating surfaces of pipe and fittings are clean and free of debris. 2. Apply appropriate solvent cement and primer (if required for fitting type) evenly to both joining surfaces. 3. Quickly insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion, holding for 30 seconds to prevent slippage. 4. Allow for adequate cure time as per solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before pressurizing the system.
