Step 7 -Cementing

Stir or shake the cement before using. Do not thin.While surfaces of fitting and pipe are still wet or tacky from priming, use the propersize applicator to aggressively apply a full even layer of solvent cement equal to thedepth of the socket onto the pipe. Avoid puddling primer or solvent inthe fitting or downstream portion of the pipe. Onbell-end pipe do not coat beyond socket depth or let cement run beyond the bell.Next, apply another full layer of cement on the pipe. Most joint failures are caused by insufficient cement.
