Avoid contact with skin . If cement contacts skin, wash with water while cement is still wet .
1 . Arrange fittings and PVC pipe as needed .
2 . Cut PVC pipe to length so that ends are square . Remove any burrs with sandpaper (supplied) .
3 . Clean pipe and fitting with dry paper towel or cloth . Remove all dirt, grease, oil and water .
4 . Check for proper fit before applying cement . Pipe should snugly fit 1/3 to 2/3 of the way into the
fitting . Sand pipe if needed .
5 . Use applicator to spread a thin, uniform coat of cement around outside end of pipe to depth of fitting .
6 . Apply thin, uniform coat of cement to inside of fitting . Prevent excess cement from forming on inside
of pipe or outside of fitting .
7 . Insert pipe to bottom of inside of fitting, using a 1/4-twist while inserting . Hold in place for one minute .

humidity or cold weather requires longer cure time . Cement cures to full strength in 24-72 hours .
