Q
how do you glue pvc pipe
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Gluing PVC pipe involves a process called solvent welding. First, ensure the pipe and fitting are clean and dry. Use fine-grit sandpaper to lightly roughen the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting. Apply a primer specifically designed for PVC to both surfaces; this step is crucial as it prepares the PVC for the solvent cement. After the primer has dried (usually a few seconds), apply a uniform layer of PVC solvent cement to both surfaces. Immediately push the pipe into the fitting until it's fully seated, then hold it in place for about 15 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Avoid moving or stressing the joint for at least 15 minutes, and wait several hours (as directed by the cement manufacturer) before testing the system under pressure. It’s important to use the correct primer and cement for the type of PVC you are working with (e.g., PVC, CPVC) and to work in a well-ventilated area due to the strong fumes.
