FOR All INSTALLATIONS:

D0's

  1. Install product according to ASTRAL's Installation instructions and manual and follow recommended safe work practices.
  2. Keep Pipe and Fittings in original packaging until needed and store pipes in covered areas.
  3. Use tools designed for use with plastic pipe and fittings.
  4. Always conduct hydraulic pressure testing after installation to detect any leaks and faults. Wait for appropriate cure time before pressure testing. Fill lines slowly and bleed air from the system prior to pressure testing.
  5. Rotate the pipe 90° to 180° to spread the CPVC/PVC Solvent Cement evenly in the joint while pushing the Pipe into Fitting.
  6. Ensure that there are no sharp edges in contact with the pipe while embedding the pipes.
  7. Provide Vertical & Horizontal Supports as recommended.
  8. Apply a water-based only paint on exposed pipes & fittings.
  9. Visually inspect all joints for proper cementing at the end of shift or day. A Visual inspection of the complete system is also recommended during pressure testing.
Dont's
  1. Do not Use Nails to hold or put pressure on the pipes. Do not use straps & hangers with rough or sharp edges. Do not over tighten the straps on the pipes.
  2. Never expose the pipe to Open Flame while trying to bend it.
  3. Do not drop pipes on edges from heights. Do not drop heavy objects on pipes or walk on pipes.
  4. Do not dilute Solvent Cement with Thinners /MTO or any other liquid etc.
  5. Do not use air or gases for pressure testings.
  6. Do not use any other petroleum or solvent- based sealant, adhesive, lubricant or fire stop material on CPVC/PVC pipes and fittings.
