APPLICATION OF PRIMER AND
SOLVENT CEMENT
3. The use of primer prepares the bonding area
for the solvent cement. Apply primer sparingly
on pipe and fitting socket, and do not allow it to
puddle inside fittings. Please note that there are
"One-Step" cements for CPVC, which eliminate
the need for primer. Both one-step and two-step
methods are acceptable, but only cement labeled
"One-Step" or "Single-Step" should be used
without primer. "Two-Step" cements must be
used with primer. Do not allow excess cement to
puddle in the fitting and pipe assembly.
4. Using a dauber or natural bristle paint brush,
apply solvent cement liberally on the pipe and
sparingly in the fitting socket. Apply only CPVC
cement conforming to CSA B137.6 and ASTM
F493.
NOTE: NEVER USE AN ALL-PURPOSE CEMENT
OR JOINT FAILURE MAY RESULT.
ASSEMBLY
5. Insert the pipe into the fitting socket,
pushing together with a 1/4 turn. Cement only
one fitting at a time.
Adjust alignment immediately before the
solvent sets up. Hold the assembly together for
15 seconds so cement can set. An even bead of
cement should be visible around the joint.
If not, it may indicate that insufficient cement
has been applied.
NOTE: The following steps 3, 4 and 5 MUST BE COMPLETED IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS.
