this will dry within a few seconds.
14. Aggressively work a medium layer of
cement into the fitting socket; avoid
puddling cement in the socket.
15. Apply a second full, even layer of
cement on the pipe.
16. Without delay, while cement is still wet,
assemble the pipe and fittings. Use suf-
ficient force to ensure that the pipe
bottoms in the fitting socket.
If possible, twist the pipe a 1/4 turn as
you insert it.
17. Hold the pipe and fitting together for
approximately 30 seconds to avoid
push out.

18. After assembly, a joint should have a
ring or bead of cement completely
around the juncture of the pipe and fit-
ting. If voids in this ring are present,
sufficient cement was not applied and
the joint may be defective.
19. Using a rag, remove the excess
cement from the pipe and fitting, inclu-
ding the ring or bead, as it will needles-
sly soften the pipe and fitting and does
not add to joint strength.
Avoid disturbing or moving the joint.
20. Handle newly assembled joints careful-
ly until initial set has taken place.
Follow IPEX set andcure times before
handling or testing pipe system.
21. Once cure period has elapsed, joint
should be pulled and twisted by hand.
Should even a slight crack appear the
joint must be replaced.
Solvent Cementing without Primer
(installation temperatures above 0ºC / 32°F)
Note: Some jurisdictions have mandated
the use of primer regardless of temperatu-
re (i.e. Alberta). Verify with your local juri-
sdiction's authorities.
1. Assemble materials needed for the
installation (the proper System 636
cement and applicator for the size of
pipe and fittings to be assembled).
2. Pipe must be cut as square as possible.
A diagonal cut reduces bonding area in
the most effective part of the joint.
3. Remove all burrs from both inside and
outside of the pipe with a knife, file or
reamer. Burrs can scrape channels into
