(Practice)Standard Practice for the Two-Step (Primer and Solvent Cement) Method of Joining Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) or Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Pipe and Piping Components with Tapered Sockets
Standard Practice for the Two-Step (Primer and Solvent Cement) Method of Joining Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) or Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Pipe and Piping Components with Tapered Sockets
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 A solvent cement bonder/installer must follow all procedures to produce consistently strong and leak-free joints, either in shop operations or in the field.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice describes a two-step (primer and solvent cement) method of joining poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) or chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) pipe and piping components with tapered sockets.
Note 1: Simplified procedures may be allowed in non-pressure applications where local codes permit.
Note 2: Where conflicts occur between the code and the manufacturer’s installation instructions, the more restrictive provisions apply.
1.2 The products covered by this practice are intended for use with the distribution of pressured liquids only, which are chemically compatible with the piping materials. Due to inherent hazards associated with testing components and systems with compressed air or other compressed gases, some manufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products. Consult with specific product/component manufacturers for their specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.
Note 3: Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases contain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safety hazards should a system fail for any reason.
1.3 This standard practice does not address the one-step method of joining pipe and piping components with tapered sockets with solvent cement without the use of primer.
1.4 The techniques covered are applicable to joining PVC to PVC or CPVC to CPVC pipe and piping components with tapered sockets. In the remainder of this standard practice, the term “piping components with tapered sockets”, whether it be bell end pipe, spigot connections, or any other type of tapered connections, will be referred to as “fittings.”
1.5 A partial list of standards for PVC and CPVC pipe, piping components, and solvent cements suitable for use in joining pipe and fittings is given in Appendix X1.
1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.7 The text of this practice references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the practice.
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1. Scope Scope*
1.1 This practice describes a procedure for making joints with poly(vinyl chloride) plastic (PVC) pipes, both plain ends and
fittings, and bell ends, by means of solvent cements. These procedures are general ones for PVC piping. In non-pressure
applications, simplified procedures may be used. Manufacturers should supply specific instructions for their particular products,
if and when it seems necessary. two-step (primer and solvent cement) method of joining poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) or chlorinated
poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) pipe and piping components with tapered sockets.
NOTE 1—Simplified procedures may be allowed in non-pressure applications where local codes permit.
NOTE 2—Where conflicts occur between the code and the manufacturer’s installation instructions, the more restrictive provisions apply.
1.2 The products covered by this practice are intended for use with the distribution of pressured liquids only, which are
chemically compatible with the piping materials. Due to inherent hazards associated with testing components and systems with
compressed air or other compressed gases, some manufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products. Consult with
specific product/component manufacturers for their specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.
NOTE 3—Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases contain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safety hazards should
a system fail for any reason.
1.3 This standard practice does not address the one-step method of joining pipe and piping components with tapered sockets
with solvent cement without the use of primer.
1.4 The techniques covered are applicable only to PVC pipe, both plain and bell-end, and fittings of the same classes as
described in Specificationjoining PVC to PVC or CPVC to CPVC pipe and piping components with tapered sockets. In the
remainder of this standard practice, the term “piping components with tapered sockets”, D1784. whether it be bell end pipe, spigot
connections, or any other type of tapered connections, will be referred to as “fittings.”
1.5 Pipe and fittings are manufactured within certain tolerances to provide for the small variations in the extrusion, belling, and
molding processes and are not to exact size. A partial list of standards for PVC pipe, fittings, and and CPVC pipe, piping
components, and solvent cements suitable for use in making solvent-cemented joints joining pipe and fittings is given in Appendix
X1.

conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
