crack.
Take care that the pipe end is free from burrs or cutting chips and remove if
necessary.
Mark the welding depth at the end of the pipe
Mark the desired position of the fitting on the pipe and/or fitting.
3.3 JOINTING
The pipe cut with a wheel-type plastic tubing cutter, a hack saw or other fine
toothed hand or power saws. Use of ratchet cutters is permitted. Ensure that the
cut is square when using a saw.
Cutting tubing as squarely as possible provides optimal bonding area within the
joint. If any indication of damage or cracking is evident at the tubing end, cut off
at least 5 cm beyond any visible crack.
Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between tube and fitting during
assembly, and should be removed from the outside and inside of the tubing.
Use pocketknife or file are suitable for chamfering.
A slight bevel on the end of the tubing will ease entry of the tubing into the fitting
socket and minimize the chances of pushing solvent cement to the bottom of the
joint.
Wipe any dirt or moisture from the fitting sockets and tubing end. The tubing
should make contact with the socket wall 1/3 to 2/3 of the way into the fitting
socket, tubing should not bottom out in the socket.
Primer or cleaner prepares the bonding area for the addition of solvent cement and
subsequent assembly. A dauber or natural bristle paint brush approximately ½ the
size of the tubing diameter is appropriate. Apply primer to both the outside of the
tubing end and in the fitting socket.
Do not allow primer to puddle in the fitting.
Use only uPVC solvent cement when the primed pipe and fitting surfaces are dry,
apply a heavy, even coat of cement on the tubing end. Apply a thin coat inside the
fitting socket.
Immediately, insert the tubing into the fitting socket, rotating the tubing ¼ to ½
turn while inserting. This motion ensures an even distribution of cement with the
joint. Properly align the fitting. Hold the assembly for approximately 10 seconds.
Allowing the joint to set-up. An even bead of cement should be evident around the
joint. If this bead is not continuous around the socket edge, it may indicate that
insufficient cement was applied. In this case, remake the joint to avoid potential
leaks. Wipe excess cement from the tubing and fittings surfaces for an attractive,
professional appearance.
Indicate clearly on shop drawings the locations and details of expansion joints.
Apply as a guide the following installation procedure:
The maximum distance between entry and the nearest fixed point must be 500
mm.
Where pipework penetrates a fire barrier, the pipe must be fire stopped. If this
prevents thermal movement expansion joints must be provided.
Use suitable pipe clamp taking into consideration the pipe route has to be
planned and installed in a way that the pipe is free-moving within the
determined expansion as recommended by Manufacturer.
Maximum vertical support intervals must not exceed 1800 mm for all sizes.
Ensure that the supporting system shall accommodate expansion and contraction.
Use only supports that fit accurately to the pipes and fittings.
3.6 TESTING
Apply hydraulic leakage test. Do not apply smoke testing for UPVC pipe work
unless, after obtaining Engineer’s approval, be certain that the products of
combustion of the smoke generating set will have no detrimental effect on UPVC.

lubricants on bolt threads. Tighten bolts gradually and uniformly with a torque wrench.
Coordinate flange standards with that of valves, pumps and equipment.
3.2.3 Welded Joints: Employ, qualified welders and submit welders qualification certificate
to the Engineer. Comply with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code. Submit welding procedures and the technical data and specification for
electrodes.
Prepare end of parts to be welded in compliance with the joint design set up in the
applicable welding-procedure specification.
Use proper machine tools for cutting. Thoroughly clean rust, scale, paint, oil or grease
from welding faces and adjoining surfaces for a distance of 20 mm from edge of the
welding groove or from the toe of the fillet in the case of socket-welded or fillet-welded
joints. In addition, remove any contaminating or surface-coating material that may
reach the weld area as a result of weld heat.
Layout and assemble various component parts. Carefully space, align and tack-
weld together the parts to be jointed so that final welded assembly will conform to
the required dimensions within acceptable tolerances (± 3 mm maximum end-to-
end tolerance). Ensure that a sufficient number and suitable proportions of tack
welds are provided to hold the parts in place during ordinary handling.
Apply sufficient number of weld passes to suit the material, thickness and position
of parts to be welded. Start welding at the bottom and progress upward, except for
thin-walled material.
Employ high degree of manual skill for downward welding to secure adequate
fusion with sidewalls and to avoid entrapment of slag. Clean with wire brush each
layer of deposited weld metal prior to the deposition of the following weld-metal
layer. Chip or ground out surface defects which would other wise affect the
soundness of the weld. Remove bumps and sharp corners or grooves.
3.2.4 Roll groove Joints: Employ, qualified and well trained (by the manufacturer or his
representative) personnel for preparing the pipe roll grooving.
Prepare end of pipes to be roll grooved in compliance with the coupling joint
design and manufacturer requirements.
Use proper machine tools for roll grooving of pipes. Thoroughly clean rust or scale.
Use proper lubricant recommended by the manufacturer on the pipe before installing
the gaskets.
Assemble various component parts with bolts and nuts only manufactured by the
same coupling manufacturer.
