| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong solvent cement for polycarbonate. | Always use a solvent cement specifically designed and recommended for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation. |
| Insufficient curing time before pressurizing the system. | Allow the solvent cement to cure fully according to the manufacturer's specifications before introducing any pressure to the pipe system. |
