What are pipe fitting used for?

To join lengths of pipe and to route it where it needs to go.


How do you joint upvc pipe?

# Cut the pipe at right angles to its axis and to the required length. Deburr the cut end of the pipe and then chamfer the leading edge of the pipe at approximately 30° - 40°. This will prevent the solvent cement being wiped from both the pipe and the fitting when pushed together. # Dry fit the pipe to the socket of the fittings. When the pipe is fully home in the socket, draw a line around the pipe at the edge of the socket. Where this is not possible, measure the socket depth and draw a line at the corresponding point along the pipe. This will give a visual indication to ensure that the pipe is fully home in the socket. # Roughen both the pipe surface up to the indicator mark and the inside of the socket with emery cloth, this will take off the shiny surface. # Do not roughen both surfaces of the pipe and fitting to the extent that the clearance between them is noticeably increased. # Degrease the surface of both the pipe and the fitting with a lint free cloth or piece of absorbent paper dampened with Effast MEK Cleaner. Ensure that both jointing surfaces are fully cleaned. Allow the cleaner to evaporate, before applying the solvent cement. Any excess cleaner should be quickly removed from the surface of the pipe or fitting as this may affect the integrity of the system. # Select the correct solvent cement. Do not attempt to solvent weld PVC-U Pipe and fittings with ABS cement or vice versa. ABS cement, will need to be thoroughly stirred before use, PVC does not. # Apply the solvent cement straight from the tin with a suitably sized brush. Ensure that the roughened area in the socket and pipe up to the visual indicator is completely covered with an even layer of cement. It is essential that the excessive use of solvent cement is avoided. This part of the procedure must be done quickly and neatly as the solvent cement must still be wet when the pipe and fitting is pushed together. # Push the pipe and fittings together and hold in place for up to 30 seconds for smaller diameter sizes (up to 2"/63mm) and up to 1 minute for larger sizes (2"/63mm - 12"/315mm). When the joint is made a bead of cement will form between the chamfer of the pipe and the central register of the fitting. This bead will help ensure the integrity of the seal. Excessive deposits inside the fittings must be avoided as this can weaken the wall especially on small sizes. A bead of solvent cement will also form around the outer joint of the pipe and socket. This excess cement should be wiped away leaving the outer part of the joint clean. Do not disturb the joint for 10 - 15 minutes. # After 8 hours under normal conditions the cement within the joint will have dried enough to be able to withstand the rated pressure of the pipe system, however, we would recommend leaving the joint for the full period of 24 hours wherever possible. Please note that all drying times in a pipe system only start on the completion of the last joint. After 24 hours the pipe system can be fully pressure tested. The test pressure should be equal to 1½ times the rated pressure of the lowest rated fitting or pipe within the system. # Please note that during the jointing procedure both solvent cements and cleaners produce vapors (fumes), therefore, we recommend that the jointing procedure should be undertaken in a well-ventilated area. We also recommend ventilation within the pipe system during assembly, to disperse any potentially harmful vapors.

How do you join polyethylene pipe to PVC pipe?

It depends on the size of PVC. For smaller PVC you can buy fittings that glue onto the PVC and allow a thread x barb fitting to be installed. For larger pipe you should get a brass compression fitting that clamps down on the PVC and adapts to a thread x barb fitting.

How do you fix broken pool lines?

First isolate the area that needs repair and drain it. If it is only a hole in a PVC water pipe Get a piece of pipe the same size and cut it in half along the length. Clean both the pool pipe with the hole in it and the new piece of pipe with primer then put PVC solvent cement on both the patch and the pipe and hold it firmly in place until the solvent cement has set, To save you having to hold it in place you can get one or two hose clamps to do the job for you. If a large section of pipe needs replacement, cut out the damaged pipe and replace with similar pipe and connectors.


Can PVC cement be used on cPVC piping?

No PVC cement can not be used on cpvc pipe. Cpvc and PVC pipe have different chemical compositions so a cement made for one will not work for the other. The process of joining plastic piping together is called solvent welding and the use of the wrong formulation will result in an inferior weld


How do you glue pvc pipe together?

How do you repair a small puncture hole from a nail in PVC pressure water pipe embedded in cement flooring?

If the hole is clear of the concrete get a little bit of pipe 25mm or an inch and cut it along the length so that you have a ring that opens up. Get some PVC primer and PVC solvent cement . use the primer to clean the outside of the pipe with the hole in it and the inside of the patch. put solvent cement on the pipe around where the patch is going. stretch the ring so it opens up and covers the hole and hold it in place. you can do this with a suitable hose clamp. wait a couple of hours before use. if you can reach the inside of the pipe you can use a similar procedure,
