Bsc Preferred 18129-12 Clear Pvc Solvent Cement Pint

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 18129-12 is a clear, regular-bodied, fast-setting PVC solvent cement formulated for joining PVC pressure pipe and fittings. It is rated for pipe up to 4 inches in diameter on Schedule 40 systems and up to 2 inches in diameter on Schedule 80 systems. This cement meets ASTM D-2564 and carries NSF certification for use in potable water, sewer, drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications. It is also compliant with California SCAQMD Rule 1168/316A, BAAQMD Method 40, and other low-VOC environmental standards, making it suitable for use in air-quality-regulated regions.

This cement is intended for residential and commercial plumbing installations where PVC pipe and fittings require a solvent-welded joint. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, DWV systems, and irrigation piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly use this product when working within code-governed pressure and non-pressure PVC systems. The pint container size suits service work, small installations, and repair jobs where a full quart or gallon would be excessive.

Installation Notes

This product is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC and local amendments. Before applying solvent cement, ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned with an appropriate PVC primer or cleaner as required by code. Apply cement evenly and assemble joints quickly, as the fast-setting formula begins bonding on contact. Allow adequate cure time before pressurizing the system per manufacturer and code requirements.
