Application of Solvent Cement: Apply solvent cement evenly to both the inside of the tee sockets and the outside of the pipe ends. Use a solvent cement suitable for ABS pipes.

Compatibility: This tee is compatible with Wavin OsmaWeld pipes and fittings made of ABS. Always check the compatibility of the solvent cement with the materials.
