Installation tips for a lasting seal
- Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square, deburring, and cleaning the surface for optimal cement adhesion.
- Apply primer to the pipe and fitting, then brush on PVC cement evenly on the pipe end and inside the elbow socket.
- Push the pipe fully into the elbow with a slight twist to distribute cement, then hold for a moment to ensure a solid bond before pressurizing the line.
- Inspect the joint after pressurization; if you notice any movement or seepage, rework the joint promptly to prevent leaks.
