Description
Oatey® Heavy Duty Clear PVC Cement is formulated for use on all schedules and classes PVC pipe and fitt”g up to 12″ diameter with “terference fit, up to 18” for non-pressure.
Set Up & Cur”g Times
The set up/cure time is dependent on several factors.
The pipe size, socket fit, ambient temperature, relative humidity, solvent cement used and the system operat”g pressure should all be considered when determ””g set up/cure times.
Average Handl”g/Set Up Times for PVC/CPVC Solvent Cements
Handl”g/Set Up Time is the time required prior to handl”g the jo”t. ” damp or humid weather, allow 50% additional time.
How To Solvent Weld Prior to Use:
Read all product labels carefully.
Stir or shake cement before us”g.
If gelled, do not use.
Keep conta”er closed when not ” use.
Avoid eye and sk” contact.
Wear safety glasses with side shields and wear rubber gloves.
1. Square pipe ends, chamfer and remove all dirt.
2. Check dry fit of pipe and fitt”g. Pipe should easily go 1/3 of the way “to the fitt”g. If pipe bottoms, it should be snug.
3. Use a suitable applicator at least 1/2 the size of the pipe diameter. For larger size pipe systems use a natural bristle brush or roller.
4. Clean pipe and fitt”g with a listed primer. (Do not use primer on ABS pipe and fitt”gs. Use Clear Cleaner only!)
5. Apply liberal coat of cement to pipe to the depth of the socket, leave no uncoated surface.
6. Apply a th” coat of cement to “side of fitt”g, avoid puddl”g of cement. Puddl”g can cause weaken”g and premature failure of pipe or fitt”g. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe.
7. Assemble parts QUICKLY. Cement must be fluid. If cement surface has dried, recoat both parts.
8. Push pipe FULLY “to fitt”g us”g a 1/4 turn”g motion until pipe bottoms.
9. Hold pipe and fitt”g together for 30 seconds to prevent pipe push-out – longer at low temperatures. Wipe off excess.
10. Allow 15 m”utes for good handl”g strength and 2 hours cure time at temperatures above 60°F before pressure test”g up to 180 psi. Longer cure times may be required at temperatures below 60°F or with pipe above 3”. DO NOT TEST WITH AIR.
