Troubleshooting

  • Offers flexibility in adapting plumbing systems.
  • Resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity.
  • Easy to install with solvent weld cement.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  5. Setting Time: Allow 5 minutes for the joint to set and 12 hours before testing. This is important to ensure the bond is fully set.
