Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after installation.
The joint may not have been properly solvent welded. Ensure pipes were clean, adhesive was applied correctly, and the joint was held firmly during curing. For permanent repairs, the section may need to be cut out and re-joined.
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket.
Check for any obstructions or damage inside the socket or on the pipe spigot. Ensure the correct size fitting is being used. Ensure sufficient solvent cement has been applied, as it can act as a lubricant.
Foul odors emanating from the joint.
This usually indicates a poor seal. Check for any cracks or incomplete solvent weld. Ensure the system's ventilation is adequate (e.g., a working trap vent).
