Step-by-step installation overview

The installation of a PVC repair coupling typically involves the following steps:

1. Shut off flow (if applicable) – Ensure the line is not under pressure or active flow
2. Cut damaged section – Remove the broken portion cleanly
3. Prepare pipe ends – Clean and deburr the cut edges
4. Mark insertion depth – Ensure proper alignment of coupling
5. Apply primer and solvent cement – Coat both pipe and coupling
