BEST METHOD TO REPLACE FLOWTITE VALVE ON CPVC PIPE

What happens here

Once the new valve is installed, allow the CPVC cement to cure. For cold water lines, this typically requires at least one hour before restoring water pressure. For hot water lines, it is recommended to wait six hours for full curing. After the appropriate curing time, turn the main water supply back on to the house and carefully check the newly installed valve and connections for any signs of leaks.

Goal: Allow the CPVC cement to cure for at least one hour before restoring water pressure and checking for leaks.
