What happens here

Immediately after applying the solvent cement, take the two PVC pieces that have been primed and cemented and firmly press them together. As you push the pipe into the fitting, give it a quarter turn (about 90 degrees) to help spread the cement evenly and ensure a complete bond. Hold the joint firmly in place for approximately 30 seconds to allow the cement to set and prevent the pieces from pushing apart.

Goal: Create a permanent, leak-proof PVC joint

Tools and materials

  • PVC Fitting — The connecting piece being joined
  • PVC Pipe — The main pipe being joined

Hide

and glue the inside of your pipe or of your coupling. Glue the inside or the Glue the outside of your pipe. Take your two pieces that you glued and primered. Press together, quarter turn, and hold for about 30 seconds. Make sure you apply pressure during that 30 seconds. You don't want it to pop off. Just like that, you're not going anywhere.
