Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
Ensure surfaces were properly cleaned, primed, and cemented. Check for cracks in the fitting or pipe. Solvent weld joints are permanent; if a leak occurs, the section may need to be cut out and replaced.
Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting
Ensure pipe ends are cut square and not deformed. Ensure primer and cement have not excessively softened the pipe or fitting. Do not force the joint; ensure alignment is correct.
Joint failing to set properly
Ensure the correct primer and cement for ABS solvent welding were used. Check ambient temperature; very cold conditions can affect setting times. Ensure adequate holding time during the initial set.
