CPVC has physical properties similar to those of PVC and chemical
resistance similar to or generally better than that of PVC. The design
stress of CPVC is also 2,000psi at 73°F (23°C). The maximum service
temperature is 200°F (93°C) under pressure with occasional exposure to
boiling water (212°F, 100°C). CPVC has proved to be an excellent piping
material for hot corrosive liquids, hot and cold water distribution and
similar applications above the temperature range of PVC.

Handling & Installation Procedures
Step 3 Deburr Pipe Ends
Use a knife, plastic pipe deburring
tool, or file to remove burrs from the
end of small diameter pipe. Be sure to
remove all burrs from around the inside
as well as the outside of the pipe. A
slight chamfer (bevel) of about 15°
should be added to the end to permit
easier insertion of the pipe into the
fitting. Failure to chamfer the edge of
the pipe may remove cement from the
fitting socket, causing the joint to leak.
For pressure pipe systems of 2” and
above, the pipe must be end-treated
with a 15° chamfer cut to a depth of
approximately 3/32” (2.5mm). 10-15˚
3/32" (2.5mm) APPROX.
DEBURR PIPE ENDS
installation
To make consistently tight joints, the
following points of solvent cementing
should be clearly understood:
1. The joining surfaces must be
softened and made semi-fluid.
2. Sufficient cement must be
applied to fill the gap between
pipe and fittings.
3. Assembly of pipe and fittings
must be made while the surfaces
are still wet and fluid.
4. Joint strength will develop as the
cement cures. In the tight part of
the joint, surfaces tend to fuse
together; in the loose part, the
cement bonds to both surfaces.
Step 2 Cut Pipe
Pipe must be cut as square as possible.
(A diagonal cut reduces bonding area
in the most effective part of the joint.)
Use a handsaw and miter box or a
mechanical saw.
Plastic tubing cutters may also be
used for cutting plastic pipe; however,
some produce a raised bead at the
end of the pipe. This bead must be
removed with a file or reamer, as it will
wipe the cement away when pipe is
inserted into the fitting.
Step 1 Preparation
Assemble proper materials for the job.
This includes the appropriate cement,
primer and applicator for the size of
piping system to be assembled.
6 of 19
Handling & Installation Procedures
Step 6 Select Applicator
Ensure that the right applicator is being used for the size of
pipe or fittings being joined. The applicator size should be
equal to half the pipe diameter. It is important that a proper
size applicator be used to help ensure that sufficient layers
of cement and primer are applied.
Step 5 Check Fit
Check pipe and fittings for dry fit before cementing
together. For proper interference fit, the pipe must go
easily into the fitting one quarter to three quarters of the
way. Too tight a fit is not desirable; you must be able to
fully bottom the pipe in the socket during assembly. If the
pipe and fittings are not out of round, a satisfactory joint
can be made if there is a “net” fit, that is, the pipe bottoms
in the fitting socket with no interference, without slop.
All pipe and fittings must conform to ASTM and other
recognized standards.
Step 4 Clean Pipe Ends
Remove all dirt, grease and moisture. A thorough wipe with
a clean dry rag is usually sufficient. (Moisture will retard
cure, dirt or grease can prevent adhesion).
Step 7 Priming
The purpose of a primer is to penetrate and soften pipe
surfaces so that they can fuse together. The proper use of a
primer provides assurance that the surfaces are prepared for
fusion.
Check the penetration or softening on a piece of scrap before you start the installation or if the weather changes during the day. Using a knife or other sharp object, drag the edge over the coated surface. Proper penetration has been made if you can scratch or scrape a few thousandths of an inch of the primed surfaces away.
Weather conditions can affect priming and cementing action, so be aware of the following:
• repeated applications to either or both surfaces may be necessary
• in cold weather, more time may be required for proper penetration
• in hot weather, penetration time may be shortened due to rapid evaporation
Handling & Installation Procedures
7 of 19
Step 8 Primer Application
Using the correct applicator, aggressively work the primer into the fitting socket, keeping the surface and applicator wet until the surface has been softened. More applications may be needed for hard surfaces and cold weather conditions. Re-dip the applicator in primer as required. When the surface is primed, remove any puddles of primer from the socket.
Step 9 Primer Application
Next, aggressively work the primer on to the end of the
pipe to a point 1/2” beyond the depth of the fitting socket.
Immediately and while the surfaces are still wet, apply the
appropriate IPEX cement.
Step 10 Cement Application
Stir the cement or shake can before using. Using the
correct size applicator, aggressively work a full even layer
of cement on to the pipe end equal to the depth of the
fitting socket. Do not brush it out to a thin paint type layer,
as this will dry within a few seconds.
Step 11 Cement Application
Aggressively work a medium layer of cement into the
fitting socket.
Avoid puddling the cement in the socket. On bell end pipe
do not coat beyond the socket depth or allow cement to
run down into the pipe beyond the spigot end.
Step 12 Cement Application
Apply a second full, even layer of cement on the pipe.
8 of 19
Handling & Installation Procedures
Step 13 Assembly
Without delay, while the cement is still wet, assemble the
pipe and fittings. Use sufficient force to ensure that the
pipe bottoms in the fitting socket. If possible, twist the pipe
a quarter turn as you insert it.
Step 14 Assembly
Hold the pipe and fitting together for approximately
30 seconds to avoid push out.
After assembly, a joint should have a ring or bead of
cement completely around the juncture of the pipe
and fitting. If voids in this ring are present, sufficient
cement was not applied and the joint may be
defective.
Step 15 Joint Cleaning
Using a rag, remove the excess cement from the pipe and
fitting, including the ring or bead, as it will needlessly soften
the pipe and fitting and does not add to joint strength.
Avoid disturbing or moving the joint.
Step 16 Joint Setting & Curing
Handle newly assembled joints carefully until initial set has taken place. Allow curing to take place
before pressurizing the system. (Note: in humid weather allow for 50% more curing time.)
For initial set and cure times for IPEX cements, refer to the table on page 10.

Handling & Installation Procedures
Cold Weather
Although normal installation temperatures are between
40°F (4°C) and 110°F (43°C), high strength joints have
been made at temperatures as low as –15°F (–26°C).
In cold weather, solvents penetrate and soften the
plastic pipe and fitting surfaces more slowly than in
warm weather. In this situation, the plastic is more
resistant to solvent attack and it becomes even more
important to pre-soften surfaces with an aggressive
primer. Be aware that because of slower evaporation, a
longer cure time is necessary.
Tips for solvent cementing in cold weather
• Prefabricate as much of the system as is possible in a
heated work area.
• Store cements and primers in a warmer area when not
in use and make sure they remain fluid.
• Take special care to remove moisture including ice
and snow from the surfaces to be joined.
• Ensure that the temperature of the materials to be
joined (re: pipe and fittings) is similar.
• Use an IPEX Primer to soften the joining surfaces
before applying cement. More than one application
may be necessary.
• Allow a longer cure period before the system is used.
Note: A heat blanket may be used to speed up the set
and cure times.
Hot Weather
There are many occasions when solvent cementing
plastic pipe at 95°F (35°C) temperatures and above
cannot be avoided. If special precautions are taken,
problems can be avoided.
Solvent cements for plastic pipe contain high-
strength solvents which evaporate faster at elevated
temperatures. This is especially true when there is a hot
wind blowing. If the pipe is stored in direct sunlight, the
pipe surface temperatures may be 20°F to 30°F (10°C
to 15°C) higher than the ambient temperature. In this
situation, the plastic is less resistant to attack and the
solvents will attack faster and deeper, especially inside a
joint. It is therefore very important to avoid puddling the
cement inside the fitting socket and to ensure that any
excess cement outside the joint is wiped off.
Tips for solvent cementing in hot weather:
• Store solvent cements and primers in a cool or shaded
area prior to use.
• If possible, store fittings and pipe or at least the
ends to be solvent welded, in a shady area before
cementing.
• Try to do the solvent cementing in cooler morning
hours.
• Cool surfaces to be joined by wiping with a damp rag.
• Make sure that the surface is dry prior to applying
solvent cement.
• Make sure that both surfaces to be joined are still wet
with cement when putting them together. With large
size pipe, more people on the crew may be necessary.
• Using a primer and a heavier, high-viscosity cement
will provide a little more working time.
Note: During hot weather the expansion-contraction
factor may increase. Refer to the expansion-contraction
design criteria in this manual.

Handling & Installation Procedures
Joining methods – threading
Characteristics
Threading of PVC pipe is only recommended for Schedule 80. The wall
thickness is diminished at the point of threading and thereby reduces the
maximum working pressure by 50%. Because of this, threaded pipe should
not be used in high pressure systems nor in areas where a leak might
endanger personnel. Threaded joints will not withstand constant or extreme
stress and strain and must be supported or hung with this in mind. The
threading of pipe sizes above 4” is not recommended.
Note: Using threaded PVC products at or near the maximum temperature
range should be avoided. Consult IPEX for specific details.
Tools & Equipment
• Power threading machine
• Threading ratchet and pipe vise (if hand pipe stock is used)
• Pipe dies designed for plastic
• Strap wrench
• Teflon* tape (PTFE)
• Cutting and de-burring tool
• Ring gauge (L-1)

Handling & Installation Procedures
Making the Pipe Thread
1. Cutting and Deburring
PVC pipe should be cut square and smooth for easy and
accurate threading. A miter box or similar guide should
be used when sawing is done by hand. Burrs should be
removed inside and out using a knife or plastic pipe
deburring tool.
2. Threading
Threading Schedule 80 PVC pipe can be easily
accomplished using either a standard hand pipe stock or
a power operated tool. Cutting dies should be clean and
sharp.
Power-threading machines should be fitted with dies
having a 5° negative front rake and ground especially
for plastic pipe. Self opening die heads, and a slight
chamfer to lead the dies will speed the operation;
however, dies should not be driven at high speeds or
with heavy pressure.
When using a hand-held cutter, the pipe should be held
in a pipe vise. To prevent crushing or scoring of the pipe
by the vise jaws, some type of protective wrap such as
canvas, emery paper, rubber or light metal sleeve should
be used.
For hand stocks, the dies should have a negative
front rake angle of 5° to 10°. PVC is readily threaded
and caution should be taken not to over-thread. This
procedure is best done in a shop or fabricating plant.
Thread dimensional specifications can be found in
Table 25 under “Joining Methods – Threading” in the
IPEX Industrial Technical Manual Series, “Volume I: Vinyl
Process Piping Systems”, American National Standard
Taper Pipe Threads (NPT).
Installation Guidelines
1. Preparing the Threaded Pipe
A ring gauge should be used to check the
accuracy of the threads.
Tolerance = ±1-1/2 turns.
The threads should be
cleaned by brushing
away cuttings
and ribbons. After
cleaning, apply an
IPEX recommended
thread lubricant such
as Teflon® tape (PTFE)
to the threaded
portion of the pipe.
Wrap the tape
around the entire
length of threads
beginning with
number two thread from the end. The tape should
slightly overlap itself going in the same direction
as the threads. This will prevent the tape from
unraveling when the fitting is tightened on the
pipe. Overlapping in the wrong direction and
the use of too much tape can affect tolerances
between threads. This can generate stress in the
wall of female fittings resulting in failure during
operations.
13 of 19
Handling & Installation Procedures
2. Assembly of Threaded Joints and Unions
After applying thread tape, screw the threaded fitting onto the pipe. Screwed
fittings should be started carefully and hand tightened. Threads must be
properly cut and a good quality thread tape must be used. If desired, the joint
may be tightened with a strap wrench. In NO INSTANCE should a pipe or chain
wrench be used as the jaws of this type of wrench will scar and damage the
pipe wall.
Fittings should be threaded together until hand tight with an additional 1/2
to 1 turns more. Avoid stretching or distorting the pipe, fittings or threads by
over tightening.
Note 1: Never apply solvent cement to threaded pipe or threaded fittings.
Do not allow cleaners, primers, or solvent cements to “run” or drip into the
threaded portion of the fitting.
Note 2: Avoid screwing metallic male threads into plastic female threads,
except those that have metal reinforcement. Consult the factory or your IPEX
sales representative for the availability of these metal reinforced fittings.
Note 3: It is recommended that thread tape be used when connecting union
ends to threaded pipe. However, thread tape is not needed on the union
threaded interface assembly.

Joining methods –
flanging
Introduction
Flanging is used extensively for plastic process lines
that require periodic dismantling. Thermoplastic flanges
and factory flanged fittings in PVC are available in a full
range of sizes and types for joining to pipe by solvent
welding and threading. Gasket seals between the flange
faces should be an elastomeric full-faced gasket with
a hardness of 50 to 70 durometer A. Neoprene gaskets
are commonly available in sizes from 1/2” through to 24”
range having a 1/8” thickness. For chemical environments
beyond the capabilities of neoprene, more resistant
elastomers should be used.
Dimensions
IPEX PVC flanges are the same as 150lb metal flanges
per ANSI B16.1. Threads are tapered iron pipe size
threads per ANSI B2.1. The socket dimensions conform
to ASTM D2467 which describes 1/2” through 8”. Flanges
1/2” to 12” are third party tested by NSF according to
ASTM F1970. Flange bolt sets are charted on page 15.
Maximum pressure for any flanged system is the rating of
the pipe or up to 150psi. Maximum operating pressures
for elevated temperatures are shown in the table below.
Blind flanges in sizes 14” – 24” have a maximum working
pressure of 50psi.
Installation Guidelines
The faces of IPEX flanges have a phonographic-grooved
finish providing positive seal on the gasket when the
bolts are properly tightened.
Once a flange is joined to pipe, use the following method
to join two flanges together:
1. Make sure all
bolt holes of the
matching flanges
are aligned.
2. Insert all bolts.
3. Make sure the
faces of the mating
flanges are not
separated by
excessive distance prior to bolting down the flanges.
4. The bolts on the plastic flanges should be tightened
by pulling down the nuts diametrically opposite each
other using a torque wrench. Complete tightening
should be accomplished in stages using the final
torque values (see table on next page) Recommended
Torque. Uniform stress across the flange will eliminate
leaky gaskets.
The following tightening pattern is suggested for the
flange bolts.
5. If the flange is mated to a rigid and stationary flanged
object or a metal flange, particularly in a buried
situation where settling could occur with the plastic
pipe, the plastic flange, and fitting or valve must be
supported to eliminate potential stressing.

Handling & Installation Procedures
* Based on using flat-faced PVC flanges, a full-faced
neoprene gasket, and well lubricated hardware, tightened
in the proper sequence and applying torque in small
increments. For raised-face flange assemblies, and
vinyl-to-metal flange (or other materials), these torque
recommendations may vary.
Note: When thermoplastic flanges with PVC rings are
used with butterfly valves or other equipment where a
full-faced continuous support does not exist, a back-up
ring or fiberloc ring should be used to prevent potential
cracking of the flange face.

Handling & Installation Procedures
Testing
Site Pressure Testing
The purpose of an onsite pressure test is to establish
that the installed section of line, and in particular all
joints and fittings, will withstand the design working
pressure, plus a safety margin, without loss of pressure
or fluid.
Generally a test pressure of 1-1/2 times the safe
working pressure for the pipe installed is adequate.
Whenever possible, it is recommended that
hydrostatic testing be carried out. It is suggested that
the following hydrostatic test procedure be followed
after the solvent-welded joints have been allowed to
cure for a minimum period of 24 hours at 73°F (23°C)
(timed from the cure of last joint). For more detail,
refer to the joint cure schedules in Table 22 in the
Installation section of the IPEX Volume I: Vinyl Process
Piping Systems; Industrial Technical Manual Series.
WARNING
• NEVER use compressed air or gas in PVC/CPVC/PP/PVDF pipe and fittings.
• NEVER test PVC/CPVC/PP/PVDF pipe and fittings with compressed air or
gas, or air-over-water boosters.
• ONLY use PVC/CPVC/PP/PVDF pipe for water and approved chemicals.
Hydrostatic Test Procedure
1. Fully inspect the installed piping for evidence of
mechanical abuse and/or dry suspect joints.
2. Split the system into convenient test sections not
exceeding 1,000 ft.
3. Slowly fill the pipe section with water, preferably at
a velocity of 1.0 fps or less. Any entrapped air should
be evacuated by venting from the high points.
Do not pressurize at this stage.
4. Leave the section for at least 1 hour to allow
equilibrium temperature to be achieved.
5. Check the system for leaks. If clear, check for and
remove any remaining air and increase pressure up
to 50 psi. Do not pressurize further at this stage.
6. Leave the section pressurized for 10 minutes. If the
pressure decays, inspect for leaks. If the pressure
remains constant, slowly increase the hydrostatic
pressure to 1-1/2 times the nominal working pressure.
7. Leave the section pressurized for a period not
exceeding 1 hour. During this time, the pressure
should not change.
If there is a significant drop in static pressure or
extended times are required to achieve pressure, either
joint leakage has occurred or air remains in the line.
Inspect for leakage and if none is apparent, reduce
the pressure and check for trapped air. This must be
removed before further testing.
Any joint leaks should be repaired and allowed to cure
fully before re-pressurizing for a minimum of 24 hours.

Handling & Installation Procedures
When loading pipe onto
vehicles, care should be
taken to avoid contact
with any sharp corners
(i.e. angle irons, nail
heads, etc.), as the pipe
may be damaged.
While in transit, pipe
should be well secured
and supported over the
entire length and should
never project unsecured from the back of a trailer.
Larger pipe may be off-loaded from vehicles by rolling
them gently down timbers, ensuring that they do not fall
onto one another or onto a hard, uneven surface.
Prolonged Outdoor Exposure
Prolonged exposure of PVC pipe to the direct rays
of the sun will not damage the pipe. However, some
mild discoloration may take place in the form of a
milky film on the exposed surfaces. This change in
color merely indicates that there has been a harmless
chemical transformation at the surface of the pipe.
A small reduction in impact strength could occur at
the discolored surfaces but they are of a very small
order and are not enough to cause problems in field
installation.
Protection – Covering
Discoloration of the pipe can be avoided by shading it
from the direct rays of the sun. This can be accomplished
by covering the stockpile or the crated pipe with a light
colored opaque material such as canvas. If the pipe is
covered, always allow for the circulation of air through
the pipe to avoid heat buildup in hot summer weather.
Make sure that the pipe is not stored close to sources of
heat such as boilers, steam lines, engine exhaust outlets,
etc.
Protection – Painting
PVC pipe and fittings can be easily protected from ultraviolet oxidation by painting with a heavily
pigmented, exterior water-based latex paint. The color of the paint is of no particular importance; the pigment
merely acts as an ultraviolet screen and prevents sunlight change. White or some other light color is
recommended as it helps reduce pipe temperature. The latex paint must be thickly applied as an opaque
coating on pipe and fittings that have been well cleaned and very lightly sanded.
PVC is a strong, lightweight material, about one fifth the
weight of steel or cast iron. Piping made of this material
is easily handled and, as a result, there is a tendency for
them to be thrown about on the jobsite. Care should be
taken in handling and storage to prevent damage to the
pipe.
PVC pipe should be given adequate support at all times.
It should not be stacked in large piles, especially in warm
temperature conditions, as bottom pipe may become
distorted and joining will become difficult.
For long-term storage, pipe racks should be used,
providing continuous support along the length. If this
is not possible, timber supports of at least 3” bearing
width, at spacings not greater than 3’ centers, should be
placed beneath the piping. If the stacks are rectangular,
twice the spacing at the sides is required. Pipe should
not be stored more than seven layers high in racks. If
different classes of pipe are kept in the same rack, pipe
with the thickest walls should always be at the bottom.
Sharp corners on metal racks should be avoided.
For temporary storage in the field when racks are not
provided, care should be taken that the ground is level
and free of sharp objects (i.e. loose stones, etc.). Pipe
should be stacked to reduce movement, but should not
exceed three to four layers high.
Most pipe is now supplied in crates. Care should be
taken when unloading the crates; avoid using metal
slings or wire ropes. Crates may be stacked four high in
the field.
The above recommendations are for a temperature
of approximately 80°F (27°C). Stack heights should be
reduced if higher temperatures are encountered, or if
pipe is nested (i.e. pipe stored inside pipe of a larger
diameter). Reduction in height should be proportional to
the total weight of the nested pipe, compared with the
weight of pipe normally contained in such racks.
Since the soundness of any joint depends on the
condition of the pipe end, care should be taken in
transit, handling and storage to avoid damage to these
ends. The impact resistance and flexibility of PVC pipe
is reduced by lower temperature conditions. The impact
strength for both types of piping materials will decrease
as temperatures approach 32°F (0°C) and below. Care
should be taken when unloading and handling pipe in
cold weather. Dropping pipe from a truck or forklift may
cause damage. Methods and techniques normally used
in warm weather may not be acceptable at the lower
temperature range.
