Installation Guidelines

1. Pipe Preparation:

   • Cut the 4″ uPVC pipe squarely using a PVC cutter or hacksaw.

   • Remove burrs and smooth the edge with sandpaper.

2. Cleaning:

   • Clean the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the end cap socket with a clean cloth.

   • Use PVC cleaner/primer if available.

3. Applying Solvent Cement:

   • Apply an even coat of uPVC solvent cement on both the pipe end and inside of the end cap socket.

4. Jointing:

   • Quickly push the end cap onto the pipe while rotating slightly (1/4 turn) to spread cement.

   • Hold in place for 30 seconds to ensure bonding.

5. Curing:

   • Allow the joint to cure as per cement manufacturer’s instructions (usually 15–30 minutes for initial set, 24 hours for full cure).

6. Testing:

   • Perform a pressure test after curing to ensure a leak-proof seal.
