Flexible PVC Joining
PVC-95 Flexible is specially formulated for compatible flexible PVC piping systems where the completed connection must maintain the strength and flexibility required for movement within the piping installation.
The medium-bodied consistency and fast relative set support properly prepared flexible-to-flexible and flexible-to-rigid PVC connections while helping maintain the high-strength, flexible joint characteristics intended for these specialized applications.
Flexible-to-Flexible & Flexible-to-Rigid Connections
PVC-95 is designed for both flexible-to-flexible and flexible-to-rigid PVC connections, allowing the same specialized solvent cement to be used where compatible flexible PVC connects either to another flexible component or to rigid PVC pipe and fittings.
Always verify the pipe and fitting materials, nominal size, schedule, interference fit, service conditions, and applicable Spears® joining requirements before applying PVC-95 and assembling the completed connection.
High-Strength Flexible Joints
The PVC-95 formulation is designed to maintain high-strength, flexible joints, providing an important advantage for compatible PVC piping applications where the completed connection must retain greater flexibility than a conventional rigid PVC joint.
Proper preparation and assembly remain essential to joint performance, so mating surfaces should be correctly prepared and the completed connection should receive the required set and cure time before the piping system is tested or placed into service.
Clear Cement & Size Compatibility
The clear formulation provides a clean and less noticeable finished appearance around properly assembled flexible PVC connections while retaining the same specialized PVC-95 joining characteristics required for flexible piping applications.
PVC-95 supports compatible interference-fit connections through 6", while Schedule 80 applications are limited through 3", so the pipe size and schedule should always be confirmed before beginning the solvent-cement joining procedure.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Check the cement before use.
- Keep the container tightly sealed.
- Confirm flexible PVC material compatibility.
- Verify pipe size and schedule are within product limits.
- Follow Spears® joining and cure requirements before placing the system in service.
Review the supplied Spears® documents for additional PVC-95 specifications, flexible-to-flexible and flexible-to-rigid PVC compatibility, size and Schedule 80 limitations, product standards, handling guidance, and solvent-cement joining information before use.
