How Long Should PVC Solvent Cement Cure Before Pressure Testing? (By Pipe Size, PSI, and Temperature)

Pressure testing too early is one of the most expensive shortcuts in PVC installation. A line may look fine during assembly, then fail once test pressure rises. The reason is simple: solvent-welded joints need enough time for proper fusion and strength development. If you test before that process matures, weak interfaces are exposed immediately. This guide gives installers and project

A can can look acceptable, still brush on, and yet deliver weak bonding because its solvent-resin balance has shifted over time or handling. If you buy or distribute PVC solvent cement at scale, shelf-life management is a quality system, not
