TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE: PVC PIPE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR TEMPERATURES OVER 130°F OR BELOW 0°F,
NOR FOR LINES THAT MAY BE EXPOSED TO PHYSICAL ABUSE (SEE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDATIONS). ONE HUNDRED FEET OF PIPE WILL EXPAND OR CONTRACT AP-
PROXIMATELY 0.7 INCHES FOR EVERY 10°F TEMPERATURE CHANGE. MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURES SHOULD NOT BE EXCEEDED.
SUPPORT AND PROTECTION: IT IS PREFERABLE TO SUPPORT HORIZONTAL OVERHEAD LINES WITH A CHANNEL OR
ANGLE IRON PARALLEL TO THE PIPE. IF STRAP HANGERS ARE USED, SPACE THEM
AT 2- TO 4-FOOT INTERVALS, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PIPE MANUFACTURER. PIPE
SHOULD NOT REST DIRECTLY ON RODS OR WIRES. PIPE MAY BE LAID UNDERGROUND
WITH NO SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OTHER THAN THOSE USED FOR IRON PIPE.
THREADING: SCHEDULE 80 PVC PIPE CAN BE CUT AND THREADED WITH STANDARD PIPE TOOLS,
EITHER HAND OR POWER DRIVEN. STANDARD DIES COMMONLY USED FOR METAL
PIPE WILL PRODUCE SATISFACTORY THREADS, THOUGH A 5° NEGATIVE RAKE ANGLE
IS PREFERRED. KEEP DIES CLEAN AND SHARP AT ALL TIMES. DIES THAT HAVE BEEN
USED EXTENSIVELY FOR STEEL PIPE MAY NOT PRODUCE GOOD THREADS UNLESS
RESHARPENED. USE NORMAL CUTTING SPEEDS; NO LUBRICANT OR CUTTING OIL IS
REQUIRED. A TAPERED PLUG (AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, IF DESIRED)
TAPPED FIRMLY INTO THE END OF THE PIPE PREVENTS DISTORTION OF THE PIPE AND
DIGGING-IN BY THE DIE, AS WELL AS CORRECTS ANY SLIGHT OUT-OF-ROUND THAT
MAY EXIST. TAKE CARE TO CENTER THE DIE ON THE PIPE AND ALIGN THE THREAD TO
PREVENT REDUCING THE WALL EXCESSIVELY ON ONE SIDE. SCHEDULE 40 PVC CAN-
NOT BE THREADED.
THREADED JOINTS: THREADED JOINTS IN PVC PIPE REQUIRE MORE CARE THAN THOSE IN SIMILAR SIZE
METAL PIPE. IF A NON-LUBRICATING THREAD COMPOUND IS USED, THE JOINT MAY FEEL
TIGHT WHEN ONLY 2 OR 3 THREADS ARE ENGAGED. IF TEFLON TAPE OR SIMILAR LU-
BRICATING THREAD COMPOUND IS USED, THE JOINT MAY NOT FEEL TIGHT AT ALL, AND
OVERTIGHTENING—RESULTING IN CRACKED FITTINGS OR STRIPPED THREADS—CAN
EASILY OCCUR. CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENGAGE THE JOINED PARTS TO A NORMAL
ENGAGEMENT OF 5 TO 7 TURNS AND NO MORE. STRAP WRENCHES ARE PREFERRED
FOR ASSEMBLY, AS THE SHARP EDGES ON PIPE WRENCHES MAY SCORE AND WEAKEN
THE PIPE.
FLANGED JOINTS: FOR FLANGED JOINTS, USE A FULL-FACED RUBBER GASKET AND FLAT WASHERS UNDER
BOLTS AND NUTS. TIGHTEN OPPOSITE FLANGE BOLTS TO COMPRESS THE GASKET TO
A SLIGHT DEGREE, BUT DO NOT DISTORT THE FLANGE.
SOLVENT WELD OR
CEMENT JOINTS: ALWAYS USE CEMENT RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. ADD THINNER IF CE-
MENT THICKENS FROM EXPOSURE TO THE AIR.
1. CUT PIPE WITH ORDINARY HAND OR POWER SAW. MAKE A SQUARE CUT AND
REMOVE BURRS.
2. CLEAN AND DRY OUTSIDE OF PIPE AND INSIDE OF FITTING.
3. APPLY A THIN COAT OF CEMENT TO INSIDE OF FITTING AND OUTSIDE OF PIPE. USE
A NATURAL BRISTLE PAINT BRUSH. CEMENT TO BE WITHIN 1/4" BUT NOT CLOSER
THAN 1/8" FROM END OF PIPE TO PREVENT INTERNAL BEAD FROM FORMING.
4. WHILE THE CEMENT IS STILL WET, STAB THE PIPE INTO THE FITTING AND GIVE 1/8
TURN.
5. AVOID ROUGH HANDLING FOR ONE HOUR. DEPENDING ON ATMOSPHERIC CONDI-
TIONS, APPROXIMATELY 50% STRENGTH WILL BE ATTAINED IN 2 HOURS AND FULL
STRENGTH IN 48 HOURS.
