How should the pipe end from a CPVC pipe be prepared?

  1. Clean and dry

  2. Deburr and bevel

  3. Glue and press

  4. Sand and polish

The correct answer is: Deburr and bevel

Option A is incorrect because simply cleaning and drying the pipe end would not create a tight and secure seal when connecting to another pipe. Option C is incorrect because while gluing and pressing may be necessary for other types of pipes, CPVC pipes specifically require deburring and beveling for proper preparation. Option D is incorrect because sanding and polishing could damage the CPVC pipe and compromise its structural integrity. Deburring and beveling are the recommended methods for preparing the pipe end.
