- Application: Suitable for underground and above-ground piping systems, especially where pressure is involved in the GM pressure range.
Installation Process
- Preparation:
- Ensure the pipe and fitting are clean and free from debris.
- Cut the pipe to the desired length and square the cut ends.
- Applying Solvent Cement:
- Use a suitable UPVC solvent cement compatible with Sch 40 fittings.
- Apply primer (if required) to the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket.
- Apply solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and inside the fitting socket.
- Joining:
- Immediately insert the pipe into the fitting, giving a slight twist to distribute the cement evenly.
- Push in fully and hold for a few seconds to allow the bond to set.
- Curing Time:
- Allow the joint to cure as per the cement manufacturer’s instructions before pressurizing the system.
Usage Tips
- Always use compatible fittings and cement.
- Avoid excessive force during assembly.
- Ensure proper alignment to prevent stress on the joint.
- Regularly inspect for leaks or damage, especially after installation.
