Preparation

The pipe end is deburred and chamfered with a chamfering tool. Only carry out solvent cementing at temperatures above 8°C. At temperatures around 8°C, warm the pipe end and the socket to hand temperature if necessary.

Cleaning

For optimum adhesion, the surfaces to be cemented must be dry and free of dirt. Additionally treat the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the socket with fleece paper and cleaner.

Applying the solvent cement

Stir the solvent cement and soak the brush generously with it. Apply a thin coat of solvent cement to the inside of the socket axially (from the inside outwards) in the longitudinal direction. Also apply a generous coat of solvent cement to the pipe end axially with firm brush pressure. The open time of the solvent cement depends on the ambient temperature and film thickness (4 Min./20°C to <1 min./40°C).

Joining

Push the pipe and socket together immediately (without twisting or tilting) up to the stop or to the full socket depth. Hold the joint in place briefly until the solvent cement has set. From pipe size DN 150 upwards, use a pipe-pulling (assembly) device. Excess solvent cement can be removed with fleece paper.

Caution – observe the drying time: Do not move the pipes until at least 5 minutes after cementing. At temperatures below +10°C this time increases to at least 15 minutes. The cemented pipes may be lowered into the trench after 10 to 12 hours. Filling the lines and pressure testing up to a test pressure of 1.5 x PN should not take place until 24 hours after the last cementing. If the line is to be loaded with the operating pressure (repair case), the rule of thumb is: 1 hour of waiting time per 1 bar of operating pressure. Lines that are not put into operation immediately should be flushed thoroughly and left standing, if possible filled with water.

Environmentally friendly, solvent cement-free FlexFit® PVC fittings

The easy-to-make Flex-Fit connections for flexible hoses, PVC pipes and PE 100 pipe are high-quality precision plastic parts with many advantages. Particularly noteworthy are the short installation time and the independence from temperature and humidity when building ponds, pool filter systems and irrigation systems.

Up to 25 m of length (50 m on request) without connecting fittings means fewer cemented joints, less risk of leaks, and fast, safe installation. Immediately after professional installation, the entire pipe connection system is 100% tight and can be loaded straight away (max. 4 bar). A small detail on the side: dismantling the detachable connections is just as easy as installing them.

Technical details

• Seal: EPDM
• Dimensions: DN40 / DN50
• Connection variants: compression–compression, compression–solvent socket, compression–solvent spigot, compression–male thread, compression–female thread

PRAHER/IBG flex hoses meet the highest quality standards. Production in accordance with EN ISO 3994 is continuously monitored in order to maintain the appropriate DIN/ISO tolerances for Praher/IBG fitting and piping systems. For proper installation and a long service life, we recommend observing the following points:

• Designed exclusively for use in swimming pool installations.
• We recommend keeping the flex fittings accessible (do not embed them in concrete or route them under the pool).
• Before installation, cut off at least the first 15 cm of the hoses from the ends of the roll.
• Install the PVC flex hose in a sand bed (10 cm below and above the hose) or in a conduit (double pipe).
• Observe the maximum bending radius (R = 5 x D1).
• Please note the material behaviour of PVC-U under your specific application parameters (temperature, pressure and mechanical load).
• Solvent cementing of flex hose: due to the optimally matched tolerances between Praher/IBG flex hose & Praher/IBG fittings, we recommend processing these exclusively in combination with WDF05 solvent cement Art. Nr. 20223 & cleaner.
• Installation with IBG flex fittings: proven "solvent cement-free" connection using the comprehensive flex fitting system from Praher/IBG. The best solution for processing flex hose quickly and without problems.
• Pressure test the piping system with water at 2 bar before commissioning.
• Documentation with a pressure test report (required in the event of complaints).
• Installation below the frost line, or installation and operation above 0° Celsius. Drain the lines in winter.
• Temperature resistance 0°–50° C in accordance with the pressure-temperature diagram, max. pressure 4 bar at 20°C.

Installation note

For installation, we recommend a minimum temperature of +5°C and a maximum temperature of 40°C. When routing around bends, the hose must not be pressed against obstacles or sharp points. Ants, termites or small rodents can damage the buried pipeline.
