Installation & Handling Tips
Proper installation provides you with a long-lasting, leak-resistant connection — especially when working with large-diameter Schedule 40 fittings. Follow these guidelines for a secure and stress-free setup:
- Clean and dry both the pipe and socket before priming.
- Apply purple primer and solvent cement per the manufacturer’s instructions; fully seat the pipe with even pressure.
- Use additional support if needed to keep the fitting aligned during solvent welding.
- Support the pipeline so system weight and vibration are not carried by the adapter.
- Use PTFE thread sealant on male threads; avoid petroleum-based pipe dopes.
- Hand-tighten first, then finish with a strap wrench to prevent over-torquing.
- Allow full cure time before pressure testing the line.
- Note: not for use in compressed air or gas systems.
