206 Heavy Duty Cement

E-Z Weld Heavy Duty Gray is medium bodied medium set PVC solvent cement.  It is formulated to provide good gap filling properties needed to join large diameter pipes and fittings. 

 

Application

This cement is good for joining Schedule 40 & 80 PVC pipes and fittings up to 8” diameter interference fit.  . It is approved for cold water pressure applications. It may also be used for non-pressure applications such as drain, waste, vent, sewer, gas, conduit etc.  up to 10” diameter interference fit. For superior joint use with E-Z Weld Primer, Purple (No.212) or Clear (No. 211). Never add thinner or additive. Never use the cement if it is stringy or jelly like.

 

Always follow instructions on the label.

 

Application temperature:                         32 degree F to 110 degree F.

Storage temperature:                              45 degree F to 110 degree F.

 

CURE TIME GUIDE:

 

The ASTM has developed the following schedule and may be used as a guide (for relative humidity 60% or less. Sch. 40 size pipe.) e.g. a 2” pipe size joint made at 55 degrees F, 50% Relative Humidity and a test pressure of 100 psi would require a cure time of 4 hrs.
