Installation Notes
- Slip sockets are solvent-weld: Use PVC primer and PVC cement rated for pressure plumbing.
- Prep matters: Deburr/chamfer pipe ends and keep sockets clean/dry for the strongest joint.
- Full insertion: Seat pipe fully into the sockets and hold briefly to prevent push-back.
- Cure time: Allow proper cure time before pressurizing (varies by cement type, temperature, and humidity).
- Reduce pipe stress: Support the line so the elbow isn’t forced to carry misalignment or vibration.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Dry-fit your layout first to confirm alignment and spacing before gluing.
- Use fresh primer/cement and follow the cement manufacturer’s cure-time chart before starting the system.
- Avoid forcing misaligned plumbing into place—pipe strain is a common cause of hairline cracks and leaks over time.
- After startup, inspect joints for seepage and correct any alignment/support issues immediately.
