WATER SUPPLY PIPE INSTALLATION
INSIDE THE TOILET
b-2. Ream and chamfer the pipe ( to eliminate sharp edges, and beads
and all burrs).
b-3. Clean all dirt, moisture and grease from pipe and fitting socket.
Use a clean and dry rag.
b-4. Check dry fit of pipe in fitting. Pipe should enter the fitting socket
from 1/3 to 3/4 depth of socket.
b-5. Soften inside socket surface by applying an aggressive primer.
b-6. Soften mating surface of pipe to depth of socket by applying
liberal coat of the (aggressive primer). Be sure entire surface is
softened.
b-7. Again coat inside the socket surface with the (aggressive) primer.
Then without delay, apply solvent cement liberally to outside
the pipe. Use more than enough to fill any gaps.
b-8. Apply a light coat of PVC cement to inside the socket using inside
straight outward strokes (to keep excess solvent of socket). This
is also to prevent solvent cement damage to pipe. For loose fits,
apply a second coat to solvent cement.
b-9. While both the inside socket surface and the outside surface of the
pipe are soft and wet with solvent cement, forcefully bottom the pipe
in the socket, giving the pipe a one-quarter turn, if possible. The pipe
must go to the bottom of the socket.
b-10. Hold the joint together until tight.
b-11. Wipe excess cement from the pipe. A proper made joint will
normally show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps
may indicate insufficient cement or the used of light bodied
cement on larger diameters where heavy bodied cement should
have been used.
b-12. Do not disturbed joint for the following periods:
b-12-1. 30mins minimum @ 60F to 100F (16C to 38C).
b-12-2. 1 hour minimum @ 40F to 60F (4C to16C).
b-12-3. 2 hours minimum @ 20F to 40F (-7C to 4C).
b-12-4. 4 hours minimum @ 0F to 20F (-18C to -7C).
Handle the newly assembled joints carefully during these
periods. If gaps (step 11) or loose fits are encountered in the
system, double these periods.
b-13. The system shall not be pressurized until the joints have cured at
least as long as recommended by the manufacturer.
c. For connection with threads (i.e. valve to pipes or fittings and viceversa)
c-1. Secure the threaded valves or fittings to joint are good that the
threads are not worn-out and the rotation to fix is reverse with the
other.
c-2. Use approved fittings to join valves to metal threaded valves.
c-2. Wrap the threaded portion with the approved tape (Teflon tape) in
reverse direction of the tightening. Align threads at point of assembly.
c-3. Tighten joints with wrench. Apply wrench to valve end and strap
wrench to PVC pipes or fittings. Do not over tight the joints.
