Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the receiving fittings are clean and free from debris. 2. Apply a compatible primer and solvent cement 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, holding for 30 seconds to set. 4. Allow the joint to cure for the manufacturer-specified time before pressurizing.
