What should be paid attention to when bonding PVC pipe fittings？

PVC fittings for various residential applications, from piping systems to many cool process projects. However, when using PVC fittings, the headache is adhesive fittings. A process involves applying primer to the outside of the pipe and inside the pipe, cleaning and prepreg PVC.. After about 10 seconds, then apply the cement to the same area, then insert the pipe tightly into the joint and let the cement solidify. If you have a slight connection problem, you may need to cut the casing and reconnect. hence, what should be noted when connecting PVC fittings? Let's talk about it.

Need to pay attention to what:

Pay attention to safety warnings

Can't have jagged edges

Faster in the process

Allow enough time for healing

Can't use the wrong cement

Pay attention to safety warnings

Primers and cements required for PVC pipe fittings are cumbersome to use and must be in contact with the eyes and skin. Before starting, please open the goggles (preferably with side panels) and protective gloves. It is best to put a tarp or towel on the work surface to reduce the difficulty of cleaning up later. This cement is a chemical solvent that can eliminate harmful toxins, so be sure to use it in a well ventilated area.

Can't have jagged edges

To cut PVC pipe fittings, the burrs on the edge of the cutting surface must be smoothed with coarse sandpaper or a utility knife. If it is not flat, the burrs may capture debris flowing through the pipe, causing blockage or affecting the sealing effect. So if you don't want to block the pipe, be sure to smooth the burr.

Faster in the process

After applying the primer, it can be applied in about 10 seconds. You will then insert the pipe into the fitting immediately. Glue the PVC fittings quickly; if the cement begins to dry before it is ready, reapply.

Allow enough time for healing

After the pipe was held in place for 30 seconds, it was given at least 20 minutes before further processing so that the cement could solidify properly. Please refer to the product description to see how long it takes for the glue to cure for the project, usually within 24 hours. If it is not fixed, it will be very troublesome if there is a big problem.

Can't use the wrong cement

There are a large variety of PVC and primers on the market. There are many types of choices, but you need to find the one that works best for you. Always look at the label. Otherwise buying the wrong type will cause a big problem.

Suggest

Before bonding the PVC pipe, place all the pipes and make sure they are well bonded when they are joined and cut to the correct length you need. Then mark and number the connections as necessary so that the wrong connections are not glued together.

Connecting PVC pipe fittings involves applying a primer to the exterior of the pipe and the interior of the fitting to clean and pre-treat the PVC. After about 10 seconds, the cement is then applied to the same area, and then the pipe is tightly inserted into the fitting to allow the cement to set. It sounds simple, but actually it's easy to mess up the PVC tube. If something goes wrong, you may need to cut it again and reinstall it. Therefore, be very careful when connecting PVC fittings, pay attention to the places mentioned in the text. If you have any questions, please feel free to come and ask us.
