What happens here

After clearing all debris from the rigid PVC hub, it's time to prepare both the interior of the hub and the exterior of the new flexible PVC pipe for bonding. Don a pair of protective gloves to prevent primer and cement from getting on your skin. Apply a generous, even coat of PVC primer (typically purple in color) to the inside surface of the rigid PVC hub and the outside surface of the new flexible PVC pipe that will be inserted. Ensure the entire area to be joined is thoroughly coated with primer; it doesn't need to be dripping but should be fully saturated. This step softens the PVC surfaces, allowing for a stronger chemical bond with the cement.

Goal: Apply PVC primer to prepare the hub and pipe for solvent welding.
