The cap and dauber configuration should match the container being used. Confirm container compatibility and applicator requirements before beginning the joining procedure.
Joining Material Application
The dauber applicator helps transfer compatible solvent cement or primer from its container to prepared pipe and fitting surfaces. Application should follow the applicable instructions for surface preparation, coverage, assembly, and required cure procedures.
The dauber should provide suitable coverage for the connection being assembled. Keep the applicator and joining surfaces clean to help prevent unwanted contamination during use.
Container & Applicator Selection
The Cap Dauber Applicator should be selected according to the compatible container and joining material being used. Container configuration, pipe diameter, fitting size, and required application area should all be considered.
Confirm that the cap configuration properly matches the intended container before ordering. The dauber should also be appropriate for the joining surfaces that require material application.
