Set time is the time required before joint can safely be handled. Cure time is the time required before joint can be pressure tested.

• Cut pipe square with saw or hand cutter. Remove all burrs.
• Check dry fit of pipe and fitting. Pipe should easily go 1/3 to ½ ways into fitting. If pipe bottoms into fitting it should be very snug.
• Pipe and Fitting should be free of dirt, grease and other foreign materials. If necessary clean pipe and fitting using AGM.
• Universal Cleaner No. 970. Use Primer is highly recommended for 3” and larger diameter installation. Apply liberal coat. Primmer will start softening surface of pipe and fitting thus ensuring superior join.
• Use applicator supplied with the can or suitable applicator at least ½ the size of the pipe diameter.
• Apply Liberal coat of cement to the pipe (equal to depth of fitting) and adequate coat inside of fitting. Make sure there is no uncoated surface. Avoid puddling of cement, it may weaken the joint.
• Immediately insert pipe into fitting with twisting motion. Cement should be wet. If it has dried recoat both parts. Use sufficient force to ensure pipe bottoms into fitting.
• Hold joint together for 30-40 seconds to make sure pipe is not pushed out – longer time if temperature is low and for larger pipes.
• Allow 15 minutes set time before handling the assembly and 2 hours cure time if temperature is below 16 degree Celsius or 60 degree Fahrenheit. Longer cure time may be required for larger pipe and or temperature is below 16 degree Celsius or 60 degree Fahrenheit.
