Heat & Pressure Tested

140°F for 100 hours … then pressurized to 150 psi

We put PVC Spray ’N Lock to the test in our laboratory recently. Here is what we did and what we discovered:

  • We started by locking several pieces of 2” PVC Pipe together with PVC Spray ’N Lock.
  • We then placed the locked pipe in an oven and set the heat to 140°F … and let it ‘cook’ for more than 100 hours.
  • We then attached a nitrogen cylinder and weight to the pipe … and submerged the pipe into a 50 gallon barrel of water.
  • We then applied pressure to the pipe, looking for any leaks. The bond held tight.
  • We then added pressure, and more pressure and then more.
  • We then maxed our pressure gauge at 150 psi.
  • After 100 hours at 140°F, the bond held tight!
