Installers should verify for themselves that they can make satisfactory joints under varying conditions. Personal instruction training from experienced instructors or installers is advised. Contact Spears® for additional instructional information or formal training.
AVOID USE AROUND DRY GRANULATED CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE
A fire or explosion may result if dry granular calcium hypochlorite is used to disinfect plastic piping systems that are exposed to organic vapors found in solvent cements, cleaners or primers when a water solution is not used. Calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer and common in Pool & Spa chemicals such as "pool-shock". It is recommended to purify lines by pumping nonvolatile chlorinated water into the piping system. Do not store or use dry granular calcium hypochlorite near solvent cements, cleaners or primers.
Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Spears® publication PVC95-6, for more information.
