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.
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.
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.
