Assembly
Solvent Cemented Jointing
- Dry fitment-check joint of pipe to fitting without solvent cement. Should fit up to 60 – 70%
- Cold fusion joint (cold welded joint)
- For diameters 1⁄2" to 2”, single step solvent cement
- For diameters 21⁄2" to 4”, 2 step solvent cement (Primer + Solvent Cement)
- Primer helps to clean the surface of pipe & fitting and soften the material
- Set time-After application of solvent cement, it takes some time for the joint to set, subject to atmospheric conditions and pipe diameter
| AVERAGE INITIAL SET SCHEDULE FOR UPVC SOLVENT CEMENT | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| TEMP RANGE | PIPE SIZE 1⁄2” – 1 1⁄4” | PIPE SIZE 1 1⁄2” - 3” | PIPE SIZE 3 1⁄2” - 4” |
| 16° - 38°C | 2 minutes | 5 minutes | 30 minutes |
| 5° - 16°C | 5 minutes | 10 minutes | 2 hours |
| -18° - -5°C | 10 minutes | 15 minutes | 12 hours |
Note - Typical set schedule is required time before it is advisable to carefully handle joint. In wet or humid conditions, additional set time maybe required of up to 50% of amount listed. Use as general guidelines only.
- Cure time-Curing time is longer than the set time. Curing means the joint has completely matured

| –18° - –5°C | 15 min | 48 hrs | 1 hr | 96 hrs | 72 hrs | 8 days |
Note - Joint cure schedule is the necessary time to allow before pressurizing system. In damp or humid weather allow 50% more cure time.
- The pressure test can only be performed after the joint is completely cured
- Compressed air cannot be used for leakage test
- In case of using paint on UPVC piping system, use only Latex based paints which are water based paints wherein the paint concentrate is diluted with water to make it workable and brushable. No Oil/Solvent based paints are to be used as these paints can drastically reduce the life of the systems
