The BSC PREFERRED 18017-24 is a medium-bodied, medium-set multipurpose clear cement designed for joining PVC, CPVC, and ABS pipe and fittings.

This product meets ASTM D-2564, ASTM D-2235, and ASTM F-493 standards, making it acceptable for pressure pipe, gas conduit, and drain-waste applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters reach for this cement on both residential and commercial jobs where a single solvent cement needs to handle multiple pipe materials.

This cement is suited for plumbing, irrigation, and conduit installations where PVC, CPVC, or ABS materials are used. It handles pressure pipe systems, gas conduit runs, and drain-waste lines. Its clear formulation keeps joints visually clean, which is useful in exposed or inspected installations.
