PVC VENT PIPE PREPARATION 
& ASSEMBLY

  Only schedule 40 PVC pipe sized per Table 1 is to be used. 

Th e use of heavier wall pipe may prevent the Fusion from 
operating properly!

1.  Cut pipe ends squarely and remove all burrs, ridges and 

foreign matt er using the appropriate tools and materials.

  Failure to remove burrs or ridges will result in the 

cement in the fitting socket being scraped from the 
socket surface producing a dry joint which will have a 
high probability of failure.

2.   Before applying any cement dry fi t pipe and fi tt ings together 

to ensure that the parts fi t properly.

3.  Disassemble dry fi tt ed parts and clean the pipe and fi tt ing 

surfaces to be joined with a PVC cleaner. Surfaces to be joined 
must be free of dirt, moisture, oil and other foreign matt er.

  All primers, cleaners and cements must meet all local 

codes. Before using primers, cleaners and cements, stir 
or shake well, making sure the contents are liquid. Do 
not use if found to be lumpy or in a jelly-like state. Do 
not add solvents or thinners to reclaim thickened or 
lumpy material. Primers and cement should be NSF 
and/or UPC listed. Failure to use proper materials 
when venting this product can result in CO poisoning 
causing severe personal injury or death

lumpy material. Primers and cement should be NSF 
and/or UPC listed. Failure to use proper materials 
when venting this product can result in CO poisoning 
causing severe personal injury or death

Primers, cleaners and cements are extremely fl ammable 
and harmful or fatal if swallowed. Always store primers, 
cleaners and cements in a cool, dry, well ventilated 
place. Do not store them near heat, sparks or fl ames. 
Keep containers closed when not in use. Wear 
impervious clothing while handling. Do not smoke, eat 
or drink while handling primers, cleaners and cements. 
Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating. 
Wear eye protection when handling. The harmful 
vapors can be absorbed through the skin and may 
irritate eyes and skin. If inhaled, get fresh air and seek 
medical att ention if ill feelings persist. In case of eye 
and/or skin contact, immediately fl ush with plenty of 
water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention if 
irritation persists. If swallowed, drink water, do not 
induce vomiting and call a physician or poison control 
center immediately. Failure to read and observe all 
safety information printed on primer, cleaner and 
cement containers can result in severe personal injury 
or death!

  Cleaners and primers are intended for different 

functions and should not be considered inter-
changeable. Verify with vent material manufacturer for 
specifi c requirements.  

4.  Apply a coat of primer to the pipe and fi tt ing surfaces that will 

be joined.

5.  Apply a thin coat of cement to the fi tt ing surface that will be 

joined making sure not over apply the cement which can 
cause puddling inside the fi tt ing.

6.  Apply a liberal coat of cement to the pipe surface that will be 

joined making sure to completely coat the area so it is free of 
voids.

7.  QUICKLY assemble the parts while the cement is fl uid! If 

the cement dries before the parts are assembled, re-coat the 
surfaces with cement then assemble them.

8.  Push the end of the pipe completely into the fi tt ing socket so 

it bott oms out and rotate the fi tt ing or pipe at least 1/4 turn 
to achieve proper cement spread. Make sure the parts are in 
the correct orientation before the cement cures. Th e cement 
bonds by melting the PVC so once the joint is made it cannot 
be disassembled.

9.  Hold the pipe and fi tt ing for 30 seconds to allow the joint to 

suffi  ciently cure then carefully clean off  any excess cement 
with a cloth.  

10.  Follow the PVC cement manufacturer’s instructions to allow 

the connections suffi  cient time to cure before putt ing any 
stress on the joint.
