According to the present invention, PVC and / or CPVC tubing and / or pipes are adhesively fixed with pipe fittings at one end, which are telescopically mated with each other using only effective epoxy adhesives. . The resulting pipe joint is fluid-tight. PVC pipe joints meet the requirements of ASTM F1970 and CPVC pipe joints meet the requirements of ASTM D2864. These PVC and CPVC piping systems are chosen to carry the cold and hot aqueous streams respectively under pressure and elevated temperature in continuous service in both industrial and domestic piping systems. In addition, these piping systems carry more corrosive fluids for specified periods of up to 50 years. |
