Installation tips
For a secure, long-lasting joint, clean all joining surfaces, dry-fit the pieces first, and use a compatible PVC solvent cement designed for Schedule 35 PVC. Apply solvent cement evenly to both the 3" spigot and 2" hub, insert fully, and hold briefly to ensure proper cure. Verify alignment before backfilling to maintain proper slope and avoid stress on the reducer joint.
