1.Cut pipe ends squarely removing all burrs and dirt.
2.Dry fit pipe and fittings to be connected for proper fit.
3.Clean pipe and fitting with a primer/cleaner.
4.Apply a thin coat of cement to fitting, avoiding puddling inside.
5.Apply a liberal coat of cement to pipe leaving no voids.
6.QUICKLY assemble parts while cement is flui!! If you wait too long,
7.Push pipe completely into socket of fitting, turning as it goes until it bottoms.
8.Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds. Then carefully clean off"excess with a cloth. Allow connections a sufficient
time to cure before disturbing.
9.Remember that vent pipes must be adequately and securely supported.
*NOTE: Two 45 o elbows are equivalent to one 90 o elbow. One 90 ° elbow equals 5 feet of equivalent vent length.
