Easy fit UPVC plumbing system is a ‘LEAD-FREE’ solvent weld system designed for the distribution of potable water that is technically superior and offers many advantages over conventional G.I. Piping system. This system is easy to install and offers a long service life. It is used mainly for cold water applications in residential, Commercial and public complexes.
Tecza pipes are highly durable for UPVC pipes.

Solvent Joint |
It is imperative to mark the pipe from all sides so that pipe is cut with the help of a Hand Saw. It should be a right angle cut from all the sides. The cut piece should not be with burr on edges
Remove all the burrs and ridges accumulated on the inner as well as the outer edges of the pipe with the help of a deburring knife, file or abrasive paper.
Thoroughly clean the pipe with dry cloth where the solvent cement is going to be applied, to avoid dust, dirt, oil, moisture and other foreign material during the installation process.
After cutting, the pipe needs to be chamfered from the outer sides. It is advisable to provide approximately 2mm wide, 150 chamfer on spigot end
Before applying solvent cement, insert the pipe end into the socket of the next pipe or fitting to check that interference occurs at about 1/3 to 2/3 of the socket depth.
Mark the pipe length to be inserted for jointing. Apply a liberal coat of solvent cement with the help of the brushon the marked surface.
Push the pipe inside the fitting so that it goes inside it equally from all the sides. Wipe off excess solvent cement that comes out from all the edges. Hold the joint for to 2 minutes so that the jointing is perfect.
Clean the Male & Female threads.
Apply teflon tape in the direction of thread tightening.
Hand-tighten the threads firmly.
Tighten the joint more by using pipe wrench. Do not over tighten. Use rubber packing to avoid scratches on pipe.
Do not cut slant/unevenly.
Do not proceed with the installation of pipe without deburring.
Do not join the pipes without cleaning the pipe ends.
Do not proceed with installation of pipe without chamfering.
Do not apply solvent cement without dryfit test.
Do not apply excess solvent cement on the pipe and do not use solvent cement by hand.
Do not apply excess solvent cement on the pipe.
Do not use a hammer or half push the pipes.
Don't over tighten with pipe wrench.
Pipe line should be installed in proper alignment & along with necessary clamps.
Pressure testing to be done before concealing work.
Pressure testing may be carried out after a curing period of 24 hrs and should not be done before that.
