Less than a minute. Make sure you dryfit the pvc fittings to ensure everything is where you want it. Slather on purple primer, then slather on the cement and twist it on and hold it for 30 seconds until it sets. In less than a minute you won't be able to move it.

Can you repair a bicycle tire with PVC cement vice contact cement?
You can repair small punctures with PVC cement, but the results will not be optimal. To repair a tire (inner tube), you need a solvent that will disolve a bit of the top layer of the rubber tube and the bottom layer of the patch. Then, as the solvent dries, the two, together with the added rubber in the rubber cement, become one. this gives a strong, flexible, air tight seal. The solvents in PVC cement fill the bill for disolving the rubber. But instead of a flexible rubber base, it's relatively inflexible PVC. Your repair will be air tight, but far less flexible than it would be with rubber cement. This may, in the long term, lead to stress failure at the edge of your patch.
How do you repair a small puncture hole from a nail in PVC pressure water pipe embedded in cement flooring?
If the hole is clear of the concrete get a little bit of pipe 25mm or an inch and cut it along the length so that you have a ring that opens up. Get some PVC primer and PVC solvent cement . use the primer to clean the outside of the pipe with the hole in it and the inside of the patch. put solvent cement on the pipe around where the patch is going. stretch the ring so it opens up and covers the hole and hold it in place. you can do this with a suitable hose clamp. wait a couple of hours before use. if you can reach the inside of the pipe you can use a similar procedure,
What do you need to join pvc pipes together?
You use PVC glue or cement.It's really quite easy.First you clean the pvc with solvent,then you put on the pvc glue.You want a little more than will cover the joint,but not enought to drip.You hold it together for about a minute.Wait an hour before you run water through it.
What are the benefits of PVC?
PVC are easier to assemble than wooden boards plus they weigh less. They are also long-lasting.
Can HDPE pipe be attached to PVC pipe with a glue or cement?
No, there is no suitable adhesive. These must both have threaded endings and be mechanically attached or use something like a 'Sharkbite'
How do you Make PVC Solvent Cement?
pvc solvent cement is a liquid chemical compound, which is applied on pvc or cpvc pipes to join them or weld them together through achemical reaction , it is not difficult to make but is difficult to handle as its raw materials need very much care attention and knowledge, so better go to my site and look for the technical know-how report for making pvc solvent cement, my site is how2make(dot)in Dr javid Ahmad Dar PhD
Can you use PVC cement on vinyl fence?
No, copper pipes need to either be soldered, or connected with compression fittings. PVC cement will not bond with copper and provide a "solvent weld", it would be a very weak connection.

Can PVC cement be used on cPVC piping?
No PVC cement can not be used on cpvc pipe. Cpvc and PVC pipe have different chemical compositions so a cement made for one will not work for the other. The process of joining plastic piping together is called solvent welding and the use of the wrong formulation will result in an inferior weld
Do you use PVC pipe cement when connecting to a PVC pipe thread?
Use teflon tape with a little pipe dope. If you don't ever have to take apart again then you can use glue which you are calling cement
What is the solvent for PVC?
The solvent commonly used for PVC is tetrahydrofuran (THF). It is often used to dissolve PVC for various applications such as adhesive formulations or polymer processing.
Can you glue plumbing PVC to electrical PVC?
Yes, 711 cement should do it.
Chemical composition of cpvc solvent cement?
CPVC solvent cement is typically a mixture of CPVC resin, organic solvents like acetone or tetrahydrofuran, and various additives to enhance adhesion and curing properties. The solvent cement works by softening the CPVC pipes and fittings, allowing them to fuse together and form a strong bond when the solvent evaporates. It is important to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application and safety precautions.

PVC Cement is a type of cement?
It is a type of glue used for gluing pipes together... (not the type of cement in concrete).
Is there a clear PVC glue available that does not require the use of PVC primer?
There is cement on the market that claims this. It's called PVCGIT Clear PVC cement. -I'm a little sceptical and would like to find some and try it.
Is PVC cement acceptable for joining plastic conduit?
Yes.
