Hi all, Just would like to get some advise from you pro about some CPVC pipe I cement together. I put together some pipe last week with a new can of red PVC/CPVC cement form Lowes, the cement looked think at the time but i didn't think much of it and used it anyway. Now after the job and the more I think about it, I just have real concern about the joint failing because of the cement.
The cement at the time of the job has a consistency like a thick gravy or a pudding. It was still able to get them on the pipe, it got on thick and I had a lot of excess squeezed out.
The bond did feel strong but I don't know if the cement at that stage would be go and hold long will it hold.
I would hate to close the wall without making sure they are OK. Thanks for any of your advise.
The picture of the cement was taken about 1 week after the job, it was a little better at the time when i was welding the pipe. The pipe i use the think cement were mostly 1/2" CPVC.
