Directions for Use

To achieve optimal results, follow these simple yet effective application steps:

1. Preparation:

   • Shake well or stir the cement before use to ensure proper consistency.

   • If the product appears jelled or thickened beyond normal consistency, replace it with fresh cement.

   • Ensure the cement is used within its recommended shelf life of 3 years for maximum effectiveness.

2. Surface Cleaning:

   • Thoroughly clean the pipe and fitting surfaces using Plastochem's All-Purpose Cleaner to remove any dirt, grease, or debris.

   • Ensure the end of the pipe is cut squarely to promote a proper fit.

3. Application Process:

   • Apply an even coat of Plastochem's PVC Cement to the outer surface of the pipe end and the inner surface of the fitting.

   • Immediately assemble the pipe and fitting together while the cement is still wet.

4. Joining and Holding:

   • To prevent pushout, give the fitting a slight 1/4 turn while inserting the pipe.

   • Hold the assembled joint firmly in place for approximately 30 seconds to allow for initial bonding.

   • Wipe off any excess cement around the joint.

5. Setting and Curing Time:

   • Allow the bonded joint to set undisturbed for at least 30 minutes before handling.

   • When installing underground piping, carefully place the pipe in the trench to avoid unnecessary stress on the joints.

   • For maximum strength, allow at least 24 hours before applying pressure, shading, or backfilling.

   • Open valves slowly to prevent sudden pressure surges.
