pvc glue question?

[fall0n]

How long after primering/glueing pvc for my new pipework before it can be put into action?

Within about 15-20 minutes, it's perfectly safe.

ahhh nice, that is much quicker than i expected.

I like to try and flush it out first with freshwater, but I have used the newly glued up pipe within 10 minutes.

They say wait an hour, but I never do. I leave it about 20 mins as well.

Good to know. I gave it approx 45 mins and all seems safe and sound.

I've used Christy's Red Hot Blue Glue and was able to get it wet within about 10 minutes time with no worries. It's nice that you do not need to use a primer with their stuff too.

Cheers,

Nice, that makes things a tad easier. Will keep that in mind for future updates/upgrades.
