    Safest is to leave it to cure for 24hrs

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, it is the same glue. I will leave it for a day.

    Keep well.

    I would say a day at least and then run waste water through it for safety.

    check the back of the PVC weld, it depends somewhat on the brand, and also what pressure you are running at... proper cure for high pressure....
