Troubleshooting
Joint leaks after installation.
Ensure proper solvent welding technique. Check for gaps or insufficient cement. Re-cut and re-weld if necessary. Ensure both surfaces were clean.
Difficulty fitting pipes into the bend.
Ensure pipe ends are chamfered correctly. Check for debris in the fitting. Use a suitable pipe lubricant to ease the connection if needed, though this is not typically recommended.
The fitting cracks or breaks during installation.
Ensure the pipe is properly aligned before insertion. Consider using a different solvent cement. Avoid excessive force.
