FAQs

1. How do I cut plastic pipes properly before joining them?

Use a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or rotary pipe cutter to get a clean and even cut. After cutting, use a deburring tool or sandpaper to remove rough edges, ensuring a smooth and tight-fitting joint.

2. Which tools help in aligning plastic pipes before joining?

Pipe alignment clamps, strap wrenches, and pipe vices help position and hold pipes in place during joining. Proper alignment prevents stress on joints and ensures a leak-free connection.

3. Can I use a heat gun to join plastic pipes?

A heat gun can be used for some plastic pipes like PPR and HDPE that require heat fusion welding. However, for PVC pipes, solvent welding is the recommended method, as excessive heat can deform the pipe.

4. What is the best tool for threading plastic pipes?

Plastic pipes are usually not threaded, but if necessary, a manual or power-driven threading tool can be used with specific plastic pipe types like CPVC. However, most plastic joints rely on solvent welding or compression fittings instead of threading.

5. What safety equipment should I use when working with plastic pipe joint kits?

Wear protective gloves, safety goggles, and a mask when handling primers and solvent cement to avoid skin and eye irritation. Ensure good ventilation in the workspace to minimize inhalation of fumes.
