Pipe and Fittings Storage and Handling

   Keep pipe and fittings in original packaging until needed.

   Avoid exposing pipe to direct sunlight for long periods of 

time. Cover pipe with opaque tarp if stored outside.

   Do not use pipe whose color has faded due to prolonged 

sunlight exposure.

Solvent Cement Best Practices        

   Wear proper protective clothing, including gloves and 

 

safety goggles while using solvent.

   Provide ventilation or NIOSH-approved respirator if 

necessary.

   Use proper solvent cement and follow application 

instructions.

   Store between 40°-110°F (4-43°C) or as specified on 

label. Do not store near heat, sparks, open flames or other 

sources of ignition. Keep containers closed and covered.

  Do not smoke, eat or drink 

while using. 

   Keep solvent cement away from skin, eyes and clothing.

  

Do not use solvent cement that has exceeded its shelf life 

or 

has become gelled or discolored. Shelf life is two years 

after the date on the bottom of the can.
