For these sizes, the solvent cement can be applied at temperatures below 40°F (4.5°C),
however, the sprinkler system temperature must be raised to a temperature of 40°F (4.5°C) or
above and allowed to cure per the above recommendations prior to pressure testing.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions on pressure testing. Fill lines slowly and bleed
the air from the system prior to pressure testing.
