B.Deburring

Use a knife, plastic pipe deburring tool, or file to remove burrs from the end of small diameter pipe. Be sure to remove all burrs from around the inside as well as the outside of the pipe. A slight chamfer (bevel) of about 10°-15° should be added to the end to permit easier insertion of the pipe into the end of the fitting. Failure to chamfer the edge of the pipe may remove cement from the fitting socket, causing the joint to leak.

STEP B

C.Test dry fit of the joint

Tapered fitting sockets are designed so that an interfaced fit should occur when the pipe is inserted about 1/3 to 2/3 of the way into the socket. Occasionally, when pipe fitting dimensions are at the tolerance extremes, it will be possible to fully insert dry pipe to the bottom of the fitting socket. When this happens, a sufficient quantity of cement must be applied to the joint to fill the gap between the pipe and fitting. The gap must be filled to obtain a strong, leak-free joint.

D.Inspection, cleaning, priming

Visually inspect the inside of the pipe and fitting sockets and remove all dirt, grease or moisture with a clean dry rag. If wiping fails to clean the surfaces, a chemical cleaner must be used.

Check for possible damage such as splits or cracks and replace if necessary.

Depth-of-entry

Marking the depth of entry is a way to check if the pipe has reached the bottom of the fitting socket in Step F. Measure the fitting depth and mark this distance on the pipe O.D. You may want to add several inches to the distance and make a second mark as the primer and cement will most likely destroy your first one.

Apply primer to the surface of the pipe and fitting socket with a natural bristle brush. This process softens and prepares the PVC or CPVC for the solvent cementing step. Move quickly and without hesitation to the cementing procedure while the surfaces are still wet with primer.

E.Application of solvent cement

•Apply the solvent cement evenly and quickly around the outside of the pipe at a width a little greater than the depth of the fitting socket.

•Apply a light coat of cement evenly around the inside of the fitting socket. Avoid puddling.

•Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe end.

STEP E

F. Joint assembly

Working quickly, insert the pipe into the fitting socket bottom and give the pipe or fitting a 1/4 turn to evenly distribute the cement. Do not continue to rotate the pipe after it has hit the bottom of the fitting socket. A good joint will have sufficient cement to make a bead all the way around the outside of the fitting hub. The fitting will have a tendency to slide back while the cement is still wet so hold the joint together for about 15 seconds.

STEP F

G. Cleanup and joint movement

Remove all excess cement from around the pipe and fitting with a dry cotton rag. This must be done while the cement is still soft.

The joint should not be disturbed immediately after the cementing procedure, and sufficient time should be allowed for proper curing of the joint. Exact drying time is difficult to predict because it depends on variables such as temperature, humidity and cement integrity. For more specific information, you should contact your solvent cement manufacturer.

Power Vent/Power Direct Vent Gas Models specifications

State Industries offers a range of power vent and power direct vent gas models that cater to various residential and commercial heating needs. These models are designed for efficiency, safety, and convenience, making them a popular choice among consumers seeking reliable water heating solutions.

One of the standout features of State Industries' power vent models is their ability to vent directly through walls or roofs, enabling installation in locations where traditional venting methods may pose challenges. This flexibility makes them ideal for homes without suitable chimney access. The power vent system employs a fan to push exhaust gases out, ensuring efficient operation even in cases where vertical venting is not feasible.

The power direct vent models take this a step further by utilizing sealed combustion technology. This means they draw air for combustion from outside the home, which significantly reduces the risk of backdrafts and improves indoor air quality. The dual-venting system of these models also enhances their efficiency, as it allows for better control of air flow and exhaust.

State Industries incorporates advanced technologies in their gas models, including electronic ignition systems that eliminate the need for a standing pilot light. This feature not only enhances energy efficiency but also adds convenience for users. Moreover, these models come equipped with LED indicators that provide real-time status updates, enabling users to monitor their units easily.

Durability and reliability are hallmarks of State Industries products. The tanks are constructed with high-quality materials and feature protective coatings that inhibit corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan. In addition to this, many models are backed by extended warranties, providing peace of mind for consumers.

Energy efficiency is a critical characteristic of these gas models, with many units meeting or exceeding energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This results in lower utility bills and a reduced environmental impact. With adjustable temperature settings, users can optimize their water heating experience while conserving energy.

In conclusion, State Industries' power vent and power direct vent gas models stand out for their flexibility in installation, advanced technologies, and energy-efficient operation. Whether for residential or commercial use, these models offer high performance and reliability, ensuring that users enjoy a consistent and efficient hot water supply.
