Installation Procedure

1. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean, free of debris, and dry. 2. Apply appropriate solvent cement or adhesive to both the pipe end and the fitting socket as per manufacturer's recommendations. 3. Insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion and hold firmly for the recommended set time to allow for initial bonding. 4. Allow the joint to cure fully according to the adhesive manufacturer's specifications before pressurizing the system.
