Installation Tools and Accessories

Tools: gauges, hand saws or cutters, markers

Material: CPVC pipe and fittings, clean cloth, CPVC glue

Application of CPVC pipe bonding connection

bonding connection is widely used in the CPVC pipe system, the pipe and pipe connections and pipe and pipe connection.

CPVC pipe and fittings connection steps

step 1

CPVC pipe cutting should be used hand saw or cutting machine.
Notice: when the artificial cutting in order to achieve the vertical cutting effect, it is best to have directional control measures.

step 2

after cutting the cpvc tube end should remove the chips and burrs.
Notice: And in the pipe end of the light outside the chamfer, chamfer should be 15 ° ~ 20 °.

step 3

with a clean cloth CPVC pipe and fittings connected to the end of the wipe clean.
Notice: if the connection site of oil, should use acetone and other cleaning agents will be wiped.

step 4

CPVC pipe and fittings when combined with the use of cleaning agents, smear equipment, about half the size of the tube diameter applicator or brush is very suitable, can’t be used rags.
Notice: Cleaning cloth should be outside the end of the CPVC pipe and fittings Internal, if necessary, increase the amount of coating to ensure that the surface adhesion.

step 5

the CPVC pipe into the socket to insert into the plug so far, marked on the CPVC pipe into the depth of the marking.
Notice: the depth of the socket should be the depth of 1/3 to 3/4, and marked on the pipe socket Depth marking

step 6

CPVC glue must be applied on the surface of the CPVC pipe after the cleaning agent, rather than wet when coated. Brush should be used to brush CPVC glue, brush width should be 1/3 to 1/2 of the diameter.
Notice: First coated mouth, after the coating socket, should be axial brushing, repeat 2 to 3 times. Brushing the socket should be from the inside out, brushing the socket should be from the depth of the reticle to the tube end.

step 7

should be quickly coated with CPVC glue, Insert the CPVC pipe into (insert should ensure that the adhesive surface is wet), until the depth of the entrance mark.
Notice: Do not use hammers. When the diameter is greater than 75mm, it is appropriate to use mechanical insertion, and to ensure that the socket interface straightness. In the guarantee time shall not be relaxed.

step 8

Insert hold time can be determined according to the following table:
