Technical Details
Jointing
Measuring
Measure the required length of pipe and marking done.
Cutting
The pipe must be cut in a square shape. The base of the fitting socket needs a rubber ring to seal it, since an angled cut may result in leakage.
Deburring & Chamfering
All the burr must be removed from the inside and outside of the pipe with a knife, file or de-burring tool. A 10° – 15° chamfer must be made at the end of the pipe.
Cleaning
The surface dirt, grease or moisture must be removed with a clean dry cloth.
Check Dry Fit
Using light pressure, the pipe should be inserted one third to half the way into the socket. Note that pipes and fittings that are too tight or too loose should not be used.
Solvent Cement Application
An even layer of cement should be applied to the outer side of the pipe and a medium layer of the plumbing solvent cement to the inside of a fitting.
Assembly
Join the pipe and fitting socket till in contact with the socket bottom. Hold the pipe and fitting together until the pipe does not retract. The excess cement can be removed from the exterior surface of the pipe and fitting. A properly made joint will show a continuous bead of cement around the perimeter of the pipe and fitting.
