Ask The Expert
 
Q: I have been told that it is a good idea to sand the spigot end of solvent welded pipe prior to joining.  Is that true? 
 
Answer:  
 

No.  Do not sand PVC, ABS or CPVC pipe prior to joining.  The pipe should be clean, dry and properly beveled prior to application of primer and cement.  Sanding the pipe may create grooves that can destroy your ability to solvent weld the pipe and fitting to one another.
