Plastic Pipe and Fittings
Proper solvent cementing techniques are fundamental to successful installation. The
following techniques provide the basis for strong and durable solvent cement joints.
Considering that the majority of piping installation failures are the result of improper
cementing techniques, an understanding of the proper techniques required or joining
saves both time and money. A quality solvent cement joint furnishes strength to the
entire system. Likewise, no system is fully effective when even a single joint is poorly
cemented. Obviously, a fair amount of time devoted to preparation will pay off upon
completion.

The first step in solvent cementing consists of inspecting the pipe and fittings for
overall appearance and compatibility. Obvious defects such as cracks, burrs and

11 | P a g e
incompatible materials must be clean and dry. In addition, the proper cement or the
type of pipe and fittings should be determine.

Also, remember both temperature and humidity maybe issues to consider. In other
details that is often overlooked Is the need to have the correct size applicator for the
size of pipe. The general rule is to have an applicator about half the size of the pipe
diameter in order to assume proper and timely solvent cement coverage.

Next, proper technique requires that the pipe be cut square with fine-toothed saw or
tube cutters. The use of ratcheting cutters, which grip and shear pipe like strong
scissors, can generate cracks in the ends of the pipe. A square cut promotes proper
beveling and full contact between the pipe and the pipe stop the fitting.
Following the cutting of the pipe. Beveling should be accomplished by using a file or a
chamfering tool. A slight beveling of 1/16th inch removes burrs and debris and
promotes the formation of a bead of cement at the base of the socket. While beveling
the pipe, one should also clear any debris from the waterway of the pipe and clean
the area to be primered. A “dry fit” of the pipe and fittings is recommended in order to
check for proper fit, depth and alignment.

Moving on to the actual assembly of the components, the first order of business is to Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
apply the appropriate primer. Primer is used to clean dissolve and penetrate the
surfaces of the pipe and fittings. It is important to consider the use of a properly sized
applicator, preferably a brush at least one-half the size of the pipe being primed.
The primer should be liberally applied to the fitting socket and to that portion of the
pipe, which will it into the socket. Repeated applications of the primer may be
required.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
Immediately after the application of the primer, the solvent cement should be freely
applied to both the fitting and the pipe. Again, not only may repeated applications be
required but an appropriately sized applicator should be used. With the surfaces still
wet, the pipe should be inserted into the fitting socket with a quarter turn twisting
motion, bottoming out the pipe.

The importance of assembling fittings and pipe while the solvent cement is still wet
cannot be underestimated. If the job requires it, two people should be involved in the
priming and cementing process. Finally, the cemented joint should be held together
for at least thirty seconds to prevent the parts from separating and the parts should be
allowed to set an appropriate period of time before further work or pressurization is
attempted.

If the preceding steps are followed, the confidence in the level of durability and
strength of solvent-cemented joints should be very high.

This section was developed to aid the installer in the proper techniques needed for Formatted: Font: 12 pt
the joining of plastic pipe and fittings. Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial

Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial


Here are the solvent cementing procedures:
1. Cut the pipe with cutter or saw. Cut the pipe in square to provide optimal
bonding area.
2. De-bur the pipe with chambering tool or file to ensure proper contact between
pipe and fitting. Remove all burrs from the both inside and outside of the pipe
with a knife, file or reamer. Burrs can scrape channels into pre-softened
surfaces or create hang-ups inside surface walls. Remove dirt, grease and
moisture. A thorough wipe with a clean dry rag is usually sufficient. (Moisture Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
will retard cure the dirt or grease can prevent adhesion). Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial

3. Apply a heavy, even coat of CPVC primer (if necessary) to the fitting. Formatted: Font: 12 pt
Remember, Ladies first. Use the right applicator for the size of the pipe or Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
fittings being joined.
The applicator size should be equal to ½ the pipe diameter. It is important that Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
a satisfactory size applicator be used to help ensure that sufficient layers of
cement are applied.
4. Apply a heavy, even coat of primer (if necessary) to the pipe end. The purpose
of a primer is to penetrate and soften the surfaces so they can fuse together.
The proper use of a primer and checking its softening effects provides
assurance that the surfaces are prepared for fusion in a wide variety of
conditions. Check the penetration of softening on a piece of scrap before you
start the installation or if the weather changes during the day. Using a knife or
other sharp object, drag the edge over the coated surface. Proper penetration
is made if you can scratch or scrape a few thousandths of the primed surfaces
away. Because weather conditions do affect priming a d cementing action,
repeated applications to either or both surfaces may be necessary. In cold
weather, more time is required for proper penetration.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial

5. Apply a heavy, even coat of CPVC primer (if necessary) to the fitting. Formatted: Font: 12 pt
Remember, Ladies first; then apply to the pipe end. Stir the cement or shake Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
ca before using. Using the proper size applicator or the pipe size, aggressive
work a full even layer of cement onto the pipe end equal to the depth of the

15 | P a g e
fitting socket, do not brush it to a thin paint type layer. As this will dry within a
few seconds.
6. Insert the pipe into the fitting socket, rotating ¼ to ½ turn. Hold the pipe for 10
seconds allowing the joint to set-up. A nice thing about plastic pipe is that if you
make a mistake, you can cut the section out and re-do it.
7. The joining is finished. Cure time depends on the pipe size temperature and
relative humidity. Of local codes permit, successful joints can be made without
a primer using cement alone, but extra care must be given to the installation. It
is important that an interference fit exists between the pipes and fittings. It is for
the reason we recommend that joints being made without primer be limited to
systems 2” and smaller for pressure applications (water systems only) or 6”
and smaller for DWV o non-pressure applications. Extra care must also be
given in applying the cements to make sire proper penetration and softening of
the pipe and fitting surfaces is achieved.
8. Joint strength develops as the cement dries. In the tight part of the joint the
surfaces will tend to fuse together; in loose part, the cement will bond to both
surfaces. These areas must be softened and penetrated. Penetration and
softening a can be achieved by the cement is self, by using a suitable primer or
by the use of both primer and cement. For certain materials and in certain
situations, it is necessary to use a primer. A suitable primer will usually
penetrate and soften the surfaces more quickly than cement alone.

Plumbing Fittings
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
Fittings (faucets and valves) are used more often than any other part of the
plumbing system. They get plenty of use but are built to take it, under normal
conditions.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
The best modern fittings are all chrome plated brass and will last a lifetime under
everyday use. They clean easily with soap and warm water.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
Caution: The metal chromium is easily dissolved in hydrochloric acid and sulfuric
acid. Muriatic acid has for years been considered a good tile cleaner, but only
where there are nickel plated plumbing fittings. Where chrome plating is present,
clean bathroom tile with warm oxalic acid, never with Muriatic or sulfuric acids.
Even covering the chromium surfaces with cloths will not prevent the acid fumes Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
from inflicting permanent damage.

Gaining in popularity are polished brass fittings and trim. These will hold up well, Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
as long as certain precautions are observed. NEVER use any abrasive cleaner on
polished brass. This can scratch the protective coating on the brass finish resulting
in a deterioration or pitting of the brass plating. Also avoid use of solvent based Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
cleaners because they can be deleterious to the polished brass finish.

16 | P a g e
New technologies have brought about the development of improved finishes that Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
can withstand more wear, but check the manufacturer's warranty to determine
whether or not you have the "new and improved" lifetime warranty finish.

Chapter Summary Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
By understanding the nature of waterborne diseases, the importance of properly
constructed, operated and maintained public water systems becomes obvious.
While water treatment cannot achieve sterile water (no microorganisms), the goal
of treatment must clearly be to produce drinking water that is as pathogen-free as
possible at all times. Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial

"Sweating" pipes and plumbing fixtures in summer-time or during seasonal Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
changes are not a sign of faulty plumbing. Due to condensation of water vapor in
the air, beads of moisture will form in warm weather on any pipes and fixtures
containing cold water.

Normally, when not in use, the water and fixtures will worm rapidly to room Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
temperature and the condensation will stop. When a closet tank or other fixture
continues to sweat for hours after it has been used, it is a sign that cold water is
continuing to flow through it, possibly due to an improper adjustment of the tank
valve or a leak.

Sweating pipes can be wrapped with an insulation material which prevents the Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
condensation and formation of moisture.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
There are several types of copper pipe. Soft and Formatted: Font: 12 pt
rigid, K-Green, L-Blue, M-Red, and DWV-yellow.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial

You cannot use lead solder for potable water. Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
Cut plastic pipe to length with a hacksaw, or
abrasive disk of a miter saw/chop saw. After
each cut, clean out the small burrs/shavings that
remain inside the pipe with a knife, rag or emery
cloth.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
Check small pipes and fittings for plumb/level
with a torpedo level. Also, double check the drain flow; about 1/4" per 1' as a
general guide. A fitting that's glued crooked can sometimes throw off the whole run Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
and/or won't fit properly with the next piece. Discover these problems during the
dry fit rather than after the pipe is glued.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial
To glue ABS pipe, check that any cut ends are fairly straight. Remove any burrs
with a knife or emery cloth and clean both pieces with a rag. Apply ABS glue to
both the pipe and fitting.
Push the joints together with a twisting motion to spread the glue. Hold the joints
together for a few seconds so they won't push apart while the fast-drying glue
sets.
Formatted: Font: (Default) Arial

19 | P a g e
Gluing PVC pipe is a similar process, but a cleaning chemical (primer) that
prepares the plastic goes on before the glue. CPVC pipe also has its own type of
glue so be sure to purchase the glue that matches the plastic you're working with.
Once the joint is primed, apply the glue to the joints, push and twist the pipe or
fitting and hold them in place for a few minutes.
