3 General venting
6. Priming and Cementing:
a. Handle fi ttings and pipes carefully to prevent
contamination of surfaces.
b. Apply a liberal even coat of primer to the fi tting
socket.
c. Apply a liberal even coat of primer to the pipe end to
approximately 1/2" beyond the socket depth.
d. Apply a second primer coat to the fi tting socket.
e. While primer is still wet, apply an even coat of
approved cement to the pipe equal to the depth of
the fi tting socket.
f. While primer is still wet, apply an even coat of
approved cement to the fi tting socket.
g. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe.
h. While the cement is still wet, insert the pipe into the
fi tting, if possible twist the pipe a 1/4 turn as you insert
it. NOTE: If voids are present, suffi cient cement was
not applied and joint could be defective.
j. Wipe excess cement from the joint removing ring or
beads as it will needlessly soften the pipe.
