Guidelines for joining with P.V.C pipe to P.V.C. pipe

• Cut the P.V.C pipe with a fine toothed saw to the required length.

•  Chamfer the edge of the pipe to be inserted at an angle of about 15⁰ to 1/3^rd the wall thickness, using a coarse file.

• Make sure that the spigot and socket are thoroughly cleaned and are completely dry.

• Insert the pipe into the socket without the seal ring and mark along the pipe after it is fully inserted.

• Fix the rubber ring into the groove without twisting it.

• Apply joining lubricant to the chamfered end of the pipe, right upto the marking made on spigot or to the socket end of the fitting.

• Push the pipe firmly into the socket until the gap between the mark on the spigot and socket is about 10 mm to allow for thermal expansion, if any.
