Bonding primary systems r------------- The hardener contained in the adhesive kit may burn the skin. Avoid inhaling the vapors. Read and observe the label precautions. L ------------J Begin by coating the cut ends of the pipe with adhesive. Then apply a thin, even coat of mixed adhesive to the inside of the bell and to the tapered spigot ends (indicated by shading) or to the entire tapered section in fittings or adapters, completely wetting all machined surfaces with the adhesive. Wipe off excess adhesive with the spatula or brush provided in the kit. r------------- Do not directly strike thejoint with i any type of hammer or mallet to make it up. L ------------J 11 Joint preparation All tapered systems must be clean, dry and warm for a proper bond. Clean: Pipe is shipped from the factory with end protectors. Avoid contamination from fingerprints, petroleum fumes, mist and condensation as these are adverse to good bonding. If a taper becomes dirty, sand it with emery cloth. Never touch the bonding surface with bare hands after cleaning or sanding as this will leave an oily deposit. Dry: Adhesive will not bond to a wet surface. If the taper is wet or moist, dry it with a blow dryer or heat gun. Do not overheat or burn the pipe. Warm: Below 50°F (10°C), warm the taper with a blow dryer or heat gun. For best results, adhesive should be at least 50°F when used. Do not store kits in areas above 100°F (38°C), below 32°F (0°C), or in the direct sunlight during warm weather. In cold weather warm the resin to at least 50°F but not above 100°F to permit good mixing and easier application. Mixing Ameron PSX•20 adhesive • Combine all of both components in the mixing container in the supplied proportions. • Never try to split a kit. • Mix thoroughly with the mixing stick until all streaks are gone and the adhesive has a smooth, uniform color. Mixed adhesive color is red. • Do not allow moisture to get into the can. Applying Ameron PSX•20 adhesive Excessive amounts of adhesive may cause flow restriction inside the pipe when the adhesive has cured, or may result in'hydraulic backout' as the adhesive cures. Hydraulic backout occurs when excess adhesive prevents thejoint from maintaining an interference fit and the spigot backs out of the bell during cure. Making thejoint After aligning the mating surfaces so that they may be brought together in a straight line: • Insert spigot all the way into the bell. • Twist one quarter of a turn when pushing together to distribute adhesive evenly and to achieve an interference fit. A slight reverse turn will then lock the joint. • Do not cock thejoint. • Over -insertion of thejoint may collapse the spigot and cause a leakyjoint. • Under -insertion of thejoint may also cause a leakyjoint. • Do not drive thejoint together with a hammer. If locking cannot be done as described above, place a "soft" object, such as a 2x4 on the fitting and lightly rap it. • Do not disturb the joint while the adhesive is uncured. • Do not move adjacent pipe and fittings until adhesive has set. Pot life/cure times for Ameron PSX•20 adhesive Pot life is measured from the time the hardener and resin are first mixed until the adhesive starts to thicken and harden and no longer can be used. Do not use adhesive once the can has become hot.
