NOTE: It is recommended that all pipes be cut, prepared, and
pre-assembled before permanently cementing any joint.
8. After pipes have been cut and pre-assembled, apply generous
layer of cement primer to pipe fitting socket and end of pipe
to insertion mark. Quickly apply approved cement to end of
pipe and fitting socket (over primer). Apply cement in a light,
uniform coat on inside of socket to prevent buildup of excess
cement. Apply second coat.
9. While cement is still wet, twist pipe into socket with 1/4 turn.
Be sure pipe is fully inserted into fitting socket.
