Installation & Handling Tips
Proper installation is what makes a secure, watertight seal possible, extending the life of your plumbing system. Be sure to these best practices to achieve a professional-grade fit and long-lasting performance:
- Cut pipes squarely and deburr edges for a clean fit
- Wipe both the fitting sockets and pipe ends to remove dirt, oil, or debris
- Use PVC primer followed by ASTM D2564-approved solvent cement on both surfaces
- Insert the pipe fully into the socket, applying a gentle twist for even cement distribution
- Hold in place until the bond sets and wipe excess cement immediately
- Allow 15 minutes for handling and two full hours before pressure testing
- Store couplings in a cool, dry area away from any direct sunlight or UV exposure
