How long should pvc cement cure?

[Steelerfan747]

Hey guys, I have a little dilemma. I need to put together some new plumbing and would like to install it tonight as I will not be around tomorrow so I was wondering "How long should pvc cement cure before it is safe to put in the water?
I I have heard that once it bonds it is safe and I have done it that way in the past due to a plumbing emergency with no ill effects but I wanted to make sure it was okay and not just a coincidence.

Please chime in and let me know,

Thanks.

Safe as soon as it bonds. Are you afraid of leaking or toxic release into water?

This is what I have always thought.

If you put enough glue and twist joints into place, will never leak once bonded. If not enough glue or a good twist, just seal small leaks with silicone glue on the outside after drying. If worried about toxicity, put some fresh carbon in.

I was afraid of toxicity but feel better now and will put in some carbon just in case

Hey Ray, its not toxic, I would leave it for 15 minutes, rince with fresh water and after install, if you cant rince just let it sit for a good 30 minutes and yougood to go.
