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

G. Cleanup and joint movement
Remove all excess cement from around the pipe and fi tting 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 suffi cient time should be allowed for proper curing
of the joint. Exact drying time is diffi cult to predict because it
depends on variables such as temperature, humidity and cement
integrity. For more specifi c information, you should contact your
solvent cement manufacturer.
