PVC Curing Time at Temperature of 22F

[Seaneys]

Our addition is at a temperature of about 20F. It is about 0F outside. I had to make a last connection last night on a 1 1/2" Vent Line. I'd really like to at least do a small fill test today to see if I have any leaks.

I used Oatey All Weather Solvent.

Any ideas how long I should let it cure at this temperature? Is 9 hours sufficient?

The mfg web site is very vague.

Thanks,
Steve

get a hair dryer and warm that sucker up for 15-20 min. and that should be OK.

It might be OK now but I have never done any work at that temp so I have no idea.

vent work is ok

you are talking about vent work here....correct????

you are ok..... if it has set up for that long it is fine.....


if you are actually going to water test that vent stack, I would
be more worried about letting it stand too long in this weather....

that would be cute...

I let it stand for a few hours once it got above zero. NO Leaks!!!

Let's not talk about how many tries it has taken me to get to the point with no leaks..
