Installation Instructions
- Cut and Clean: Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are cut squarely and free of burrs. Clean the pipe ends and the inside of the elbow with a PVC cleaner or primer.
- Apply Solvent Cement: For slip fittings, apply a thin layer of PVC solvent cement to the outside of the pipe ends and the inside of the elbow sockets. For threaded fittings, use an appropriate pipe thread sealant.
- Join Pipes: Quickly insert the pipe ends into the elbow sockets or thread them into place while rotating slightly to spread the cement or sealant evenly.
- Hold in Place: Hold the pipes in place for a few seconds to allow the cement to set.
- Cure Time: Allow the joint to cure for the time specified by the cement or sealant manufacturer before applying pressure or use.
