How do you hold PVC pipe in place?
Joining a pipe to a pipe fitting requires specially formulated primer and cement—no ordinary adhesive but a chemical solvent that melts the surface of the PVC and then quickly re-hardens to fuse the pieces together.

In know that PVC should be chamfered and even lightly sanded before gluing for better insertion on the fitting (and probably some other reason). What about CPVC, a manual told me to just cut, apply glue and insert the pipe into the fitting keeping pressure. No sanding, no chamfering and no wiping with primer.
Does PVC have to be fully seated?
PVC pipe is designed to seat neatly into fittings and other pipes to create a tight seal. Water and gas are commonly pumped through PVC pipe, so a properly seated joint is essential.
How long should PVC glue dry before pressure?
Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds to prevent pipe push-out – longer at low temperatures. Wipe off excess. Allow 15 minutes for good handling strength and 2 hours cure time at temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit before pressure testing up to 180 psi.
How deep does PVC pipe go into fitting?
If you are using a 1-1/4 inches pipe, expect the pipe to fit about 1-1/4 inches into the fitting. A 3/4 inch pipe will go about 3/4 of an inch into the fitting. When putting the PVC pipe and fitting together, you will feel a point where the pipe will not push into the fitting any further.
