- Clean and dry all mating surfaces.
- Apply PVC primer evenly to both the pipe and socket.
- Brush on ASTM D2564-approved solvent cement, then insert the pipe fully with a ¼-turn twist.
- Hold the joint for several seconds and wipe away excess cement.
- Allow at least 15 minutes for initial set and two hours for full cure before pressurizing.
- Avoid twisting or stressing joints after assembly, and store unused fittings in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
