Purple Primer

• 1). Cut the PVC pipe to length and be sure the ends of the pipe are cut straight. If they are not cut straight, square them up with a pair of PVC pipe cutters.
  
  
• 2). Dry-fit the PVC pipe with the PVC fittings to be sure they go together easily. Wipe accumulated dirt off the pipe and the fitting with a cloth rag if necessary.
  
  
• 3). Apply purple PVC primer to the outside of the PVC pipe and to the inside of the PVC fitting. Allow the primer to dry, which should only take about 10 seconds.
  
  

PVC Cement

• 1). Apply a copious amount of PVC cement to the primed end of the PVC pipe and to the primed surface of the PVC fitting. Do not allow the cement to puddle on the PVC surface.
  
  
• 2). Assemble parts immediately. Twist the fitting slightly to pop any small air bubbles that would otherwise weaken the joint. Wipe any excess cement off with a cloth rag.
  
  
• 3). Allow the joint to cure for at least two hours at 60 degrees F. Colder temperatures will require longer cure times before applying water pressure to the joints.
