Directions for Use
Store and use at temperatures between 40°F and 110°F. At temperatures outside of this range, special
care must be taken to prepare good joints and prevent exposure to solvents. Stir or shake before
using; if jelly-like, don’t use. Do not thin. Check local building codes to verify that use of All Purpose
Cement is allowed.
1. Cut pipe ends square, chamfer and clean pipe ends.
2. Check dry fit of pipe and fitting. Pipe should easily go 1/3 of the way into the fitting. If pipe bottoms, it
should be snug.
3. Use a suitable applicator at least 1/2 the size of the pipe diameter. For larger size pipe systems use a
natural bristle brush or roller.
4. Clean pipe and fitting with a listed primer. (Do not prime ABS pipe or fittings).
5. Apply liberal coat of cement to pipe to the depth of the socket, leave no uncoated surface.
6. Apply a thin coat of cement to inside of fitting, avoid puddling of cement. Puddling can cause
weakening and premature failure of pipe or fitting. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe.
7. Assemble parts QUICKLY. Cement must be fluid. If cement surface has dried, recoat both parts.
8. Push pipe FULLY into fitting using a ¼ turning motion until pipe bottoms.
9. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds to prevent pipe push-out - longer at low temperatures.
Wipe off excess.
10. Allow 15 minutes for good handling strength and 2 hours cure time at temperatures above 60°F
before pressure testing up to 180 psi. Longer cure times may be required at temperatures below 60°F or
with pipe above 3".
DO NOT TEST WITH AIR.
