1. Wear safety glasses with side shields and wear rubber gloves
2. Square pipe ends, chamfer and remove all dirt
3. Check dry fit of pipe and fitting. Pipe should easily go 1/3 of the way into the fitting. If pipe bottoms, it should be snug
4. Use a suitable applicator at least 1/2 the size of the pipe diameter. For larger size pipe systems use a natural bristle brush or roller
5. Clean pipe and fitting with a  primer
6. Apply liberal coat of cement to pipe to the depth of the socket, leave no uncoated surface
7. Apply a thin coat of cement to inside of fitting, avoid puddling of cement. Puddling can cause weakening and premature failure of pipe or fitting. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe.
8. Assemble parts QUICKLY. Cement must be fluid If cement surface has dried, recoat both parts
9. Push pipe FULLY into fitting using a 1/4 turning motion until pipe bottoms
10. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds to prevent pipe push-out – longer at low temperatures. Wipe off excess
11. Allow 15 minutes for good handling strength and 2 hours cure time at temperatures above 60°F before pressure testing up to 180 psi. Longer cure times may be required at temperatures below 60°F or with pipe above 3″. DO NOT TEST WITH AIR OR COMPRESSED GAS
