How to Solvent Cement Weld FlowGuard^® CPVC

Solvent cement welding is a fast, safe installation method often recommended for FlowGuard^® Pipe and Fittings. Solvent cement fuses pipe and fittings at a molecular level, unlike glue, creating a permanent joint that becomes the strongest part of the system.

To solvent cement weld FlowGuard^® CPVC complete these basic steps:

1. Cut the pipe with a sharp, fine toothed circular saw, miter saw, hand saw, ratchet cutter or wheel cutter.
2. Prepare the pipe and fittings by removing all filings and scrap from the pipe end and create a slight bevel along the pipe edge with a reamer or pocket knife.
3. Apply the solvent cement using a heavy, even coat around the outside of the pipe and a thin, even coat around the inside of the fitting (Use a primer if requested by the manufacturer, or if you don't have 2 step solvent cement).
4. Assemble the joint by inserting the pipe into the fitting and holding in place until the joint holds.
5. Give the joint proper time to cure and dry, following the manufacturer’s directions, which vary depending on the pipe size and environmental conditions.

Anyone can properly perform this reliable installation method with limited training, which we can help you with. Contact our team if you would like to discuss training or support options.

Repairing or Modifying FlowGuard^® CPVC

When you design a system that can stand the tests of time, the system must be able to be modified as buildings adapt and evolve to fit modern functions. Some FlowGuard^® CPVC plumbing systems' are still in use since installation sixty years ago. The ease of repair or modification to our pipes and fittings makes FlowGuard^® CPVC the preferred brand of choice for developments or retrofits.

FlowGuard^® CPVC piping is easy to cut and relatively lightweight. The non-reliance on complicated tools or electricity for installation makes it ideal for repairs or modifications in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas such as walls or ceilings, where it is challenging to heat around a seam.
