SOLVENT CEMENT JOINTING SYSTEM

Chamfer the Pipe and at a angle of 15 or 20 to an extent for 0.5mm length
Apply solvent cement thoroughly & evenly over spigot end and inside of socket
Ensure that both spigot & socket are thoroughly clean
Inset the pipe quickly into the socket

Hold for a while say 4-5 minutes
Wipe all excessive solvent cement with a cloth
Leave for 24 hours before pressure testing

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Knife or half round coarse file, natural bristle, primer, application cane solvent cement & tools tray are required for solvent cement jointing.

Z” JOINTING SYSTEM

Procedure for installation:

Ensure that the mating areas of spigot and socket are thoroughly clean. This is extremely important for the correct positioning of the rubber ring during assembly.
Set the rubber ring into the grove, pushing it firmly in as far as it goes all the way round. The opening in the rubber ring must face backwards.
Assess the full socket depth by simply measurement & mark spigot accordingly.

Accurate axial alignment of the spigot & socket prior to jointing is important, hand feed spigot into rubber joint until resistance from the inner seating section is felt.
Stop at the entry mark (13-25mm) from the end of the socket to cater for potential expansion & contraction.
Make sure that the pipes to be jointed are aligned correctly against each other.
