After complete insertion, hold the pipe and fitting to prevent from coming out. ＊ In case of the Nom.

Hold the pipe for 1 minute and more in summer, or for 2 minutes and more in winter, because the taper of socket may cause the pipe coming out from the socket. 9) Wiping Off Wipe off the excess solvent cement pressed out from the joined portion. Use waste cloth. 10) Curing Cure the piping for 24 hours and more in the summer or 72 hours and more in the winter without loading on the joined portion. Good ventilation on the welded portion is desirable for complete evaporation of the solvent in the solvent cement [to avoid ossible solvent cracking].
