Preparing for Installation
Before diving into the installation of schedule 80 fittings, it’s essential to gather the necessary tools and materials. You will need pipe cutters, a measuring tape, PVC solvent cement, and a primer. LESSO America’s fittings are compatible with standard PVC pipe sizes, making them a practical choice for various applications.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Measure and Cut: Begin by measuring the lengths of the PVC pipe you will be using. Ensure that you cut the pipe straight to provide a snug fit with the schedule 80 fittings.
Deburr the Edges: After cutting the pipe, remove any burrs or rough edges. This step is crucial to prevent damage to the fittings and to ensure a secure connection.
Apply Primer: Use PVC primer on the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting. This process cleans and softens the PVC, allowing for a better bond.
Add Solvent Cement: Once the primer has dried, apply a generous amount of solvent cement to both the pipe and fitting. Quickly insert the pipe into the fitting, ensuring it is pushed all the way in.
Hold in Place: After insertion, hold the connection for about 30 seconds to allow the cement to set properly.
