4.
Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe.
5.
Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC
or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket
surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting
socket.
6.
Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and
inside socket surface of fitting. Cement should be
applied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take
care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply
second coat to end of pipe.
NOTE: Time is critical at this stage. Do Not allow
Primer to dry before applying cement.
7.
Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,
and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe
are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into
socket until it bottoms out. Turn PVC pipe 1/4 turn
during assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to
distribute cement evenly. Do not turn ABS or cellular
core pipe.
NOTE: Assembly should be completed within 20
seconds after last application of cement. Hammer
blows should not be used when inserting pipe.
8.
After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a bead
around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indicate
an improper defective assembly due to insufficient
solvent.
9.
Handle joints carefully until completely set.

Venting Practices
Figure 20. Piping Suspension Guidelines
Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from
a venting system commonly run with separate gas
appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operating
and the other appliances (which are not operating) remain
connected to the common venting system. If the venting
system has been installed improperly, you must correct the
system as indicated in the general venting requirements
section.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide
poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into
operation, while all other appliances connected to the
venting system are not in operation.
