PVC Pipe check list
1. Inspection Before Purchase
Check for certifications (e.g., ASTM, NSF).
Confirm the correct diameter and length.
Inspect for visible defects (cracks, warping).
Verify the type of PVC (schedule 40, schedule 80, etc.).
2. Transportation and Storage
Ensure proper handling to avoid damage during transport.
Store pipes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
Keep pipes off the ground on racks or pallets to prevent warping.
Avoid stacking pipes too high to prevent crushing.
3. Cutting and Preparation
Use appropriate tools for cutting (e.g., pipe cutter or saw).
Measure and mark cut lines accurately.
Deburr edges after cutting to prevent injury and ensure a good seal.
Clean the pipe ends to remove dirt and debris before joining.
4. Joining Methods
Select the appropriate joining method (solvent cement, mechanical fittings).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for solvent cement application.
Ensure proper alignment of pipes and fittings before securing.
Allow adequate curing time for solvent cement joints.
5. Installation
Verify the layout and alignment of the piping system.
Use appropriate supports and hangers as required.
Ensure that pipes are installed at the correct slope for drainage applications.
Check for any potential points of stress or strain on the pipes.
6. Pressure Testing
Conduct air or water pressure tests to check for leaks.
Follow local codes for pressure testing procedures.
Monitor for pressure drop over time to ensure integrity.
Document results of pressure tests for records.
7. Final Inspection
Inspect all joints and connections for leaks.
Ensure all fittings are secure and properly aligned.
Check the system for any signs of damage or wear.
Review installation with project specifications to ensure compliance.
8. Maintenance and Record Keeping
Schedule regular inspections for wear and damage.
Keep records of installation, repairs, and maintenance.
Document any modifications to the system for future reference.
Stay updated on industry standards and best practices for PVC pipe maintenance.
