FAQs
What type of solvent cement should I use?
Use solvent cement specifically designed for PVC-U pipes. Consult the product label for compatibility information.
Can this fitting be used underground?
Yes, this fitting is suitable for use in underground drainage systems, provided the installation is performed correctly and adheres to local building codes.
What is the lifespan of this connector?
With proper installation, the connector should last for many years, similar to the lifespan of the soil pipe itself.
Is this connector resistant to chemicals?
PVC-U is generally resistant to a wide range of chemicals commonly found in domestic wastewater. However, always consult chemical resistance charts if dealing with specific substances.
Can I reuse this fitting?
No, it's not recommended to reuse this fitting once it has been solvent welded. The joint is designed to be permanent.
How do I know if I've used enough solvent cement?
Apply a sufficient amount to create a thin, even coating on both surfaces. When the pipe is inserted, some solvent cement should squeeze out around the joint.
What certifications does this fitting have?
It meets EN1329-1 & EN1566-1 standards.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the joint.
Ensure the solvent weld was properly applied, and the pipe was fully inserted. If the leak persists, the joint may need to be cut out and re-welded. Check for cracks in the fitting.
Difficulty inserting the pipe into the connector.
Make sure the pipe and fitting are clean. Apply a generous amount of solvent cement. If needed, slightly bevel the end of the pipe to ease insertion.
Solvent cement appears to be ineffective.
Check the expiration date of the solvent cement. Ensure the correct solvent cement type (for PVC-U) is being used. Make sure both surfaces are clean and dry before applying solvent cement.
