Installation tips and best practices
- Prepare pipe ends: ensure they are square and deburred for a clean slip fit.
- Clean and prime the pipe ends, then apply solvent cement to the slip joints for a durable, watertight bond.
- Slide the slip component fully onto the pipe, align with other equipment, and support the run to prevent stress on the joint during curing.
- Acknowledge cure times: allow the cement to fully cure before pressurizing the system to prevent leaks.
