Application
Weld-On 711 is a grey, heavy bodied, medium setting, high strength PVC solvent cement for all classes and schedules of pipe and fittings through 300mm diameter, including Schedule 80. It has good gap filling properties and its medium set allows more working time in warm weather. Weld_on 711 is for use on all types of PVC plastic pipe applications, Type I and Type II. Water pressure systems, irrigation, turf, conduit, industrial pipe applications, sewer, drain, waste and vent systems. Detailed directions on making solvent cemented joints are printed on the container label. An installation video covering solvent cementing is available. It not only describes the basic principles of solvent cementing, but also covers the handling, storage and use of our products.

Shelf Life
3 years expectancy in tightly sealed containers. The date of manufacture is stamped on the bottom of the container. Stability of the product is limited by the permanence of the container and the evaporation of the solvent when container is open.
