| Cut
the PVC pipe with a fine toothed saw to the required
length. Pipe should be cut square.
Chamfer its end of the pipe to be inserted at
an angle of about 150 to about 1/3rd of the wall
thickness. Using a coarse file, make sure the
spigot and socket are thoroughly clean and dry.
Insert the pipe in to the socket
without the seal ring and mark along the pipe,
when it is fully inserted.
Fix the rubber ring in the groove
without twisting it.
Apply jointing lubricant to the
chamfered end of the pipe, up to the mark made
on spigot or to the socket end of fitting.
Push the pipe firmly into the
socket till the gap between the mark on the spigot
and the socket is about 10mm to allow thermal
expansion. |
