To seal PVC threads effectively, you need a sealant that’s compatible with the plastic material. The two most commonly used sealants are PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape and pipe dope (thread sealant paste). First, ensure the threads are clean and free from debris. For PTFE tape, wrap the tape around the male thread 3-4 times, following the direction of the thread to ensure it tightens onto the thread as it’s screwed in. For pipe dope, apply a small amount to the male threads, spreading it evenly. Be cautious not to over-apply, as excess sealant can reduce the quality of the seal or clog the system. Hand tighten the connection, then use a wrench for a final quarter to half turn, but avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking the PVC. Always check the sealant product is suitable for the type of fluid being transported in the PVC piping.

Primer is crucial when working with PVC cement, especially for pressure applications or situations requiring a robust bond. It cleans and softens the PVC surface, preparing it for a stronger weld with the cement. Primer usage mandates vary by codes and manufacturers, so it’s essential to check local regulations and product instructions. Skipping primer might result in a weaker joint, potentially leading to leaks or failure. For non-pressure applications like drainage, some might opt to forgo primer, though it’s generally recommended for optimal adhesion and reliability.
