Product Description
The OATEY 30755 is an NSF-listed aggressive primer formulated for use on all schedules and classes of PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. It chemically softens pipe surfaces to promote a fast, secure solvent weld while removing surface contaminants including dirt, grease, and grime. The purple tint provides visible verification that primer was applied, satisfying plumbing code requirements in jurisdictions that mandate proof of primer use. Application is handled with the in-lid dauber included with each container. Net volume is 4 oz. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for work involving this product.
This primer is designed for DWV (drain, waste, and vent) piping systems using PVC or CPVC materials across residential and commercial plumbing applications. It is appropriate for all pipe schedules and pressure classes where solvent-cement joining is required. The purple color is especially useful on inspected work where an inspector or code official must confirm primer was used before cement was applied. Application temperature range is 40 degrees F to 110 degrees F, allowing use across a wide range of field conditions.

Installation Notes
This product is installed by licensed plumbers working on PVC and CPVC piping systems. Ensure adequate ventilation when applying primer, as the solvent chemistry produces fumes in enclosed spaces. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the fitting socket before applying solvent cement, following local plumbing code requirements such as those referenced in the IPC or applicable state amendments. Allow primer to become tacky before applying cement, and do not use this primer as a substitute for solvent cement.
