Solvent Weld Jointing
1) Ensure that the pipe is cut square and that all burrs are removed.
2) Ensure that both surfaces to be jointed are dry and free from dust or other debris.
3) Use Polypipe cleaning fluid to remove any surface grease from the spigot and socket to be jointed.
4) Apply a coat of Polypipe solvent cement to both surfaces to be jointed using the brush applicator provided in the lid of the tin. The cement should be applied along the length of the spigot and not around it’s diameter.
5) The spigot should be inserted into the socket immediately, with a slight twisting action.
6) Any surplus solvent cement should be removed with a clean cloth
7) The joint will be strong enough to handle approx. 5 minutes and can be tested after 12 hours.
