Installation & Handling Tips
- Cut pipe square and remove burrs before joining
- Use Schedule 80–rated primer and solvent cement, allowing proper cure time before pressurizing
- Avoid overtightening threaded connections to prevent stress cracking
- Support horizontal runs every few feet to reduce sagging
- Do not exceed published temperature or pressure ratings
- Not recommended for compressed gas unless specifically rated; avoid exposure to open flame
