Oatey 30796 Pvc Cpvc Pipe Primer Cleaner 16 Oz Purple

Product Description

The OATEY 30796 is a low-VOC, purple-tinted primer and cleaner formulated for use on PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. Primer is an essential first step in solvent-cement joining: it softens and conditions pipe and fitting surfaces so the cement can create a proper chemical bond. The 30796 is an all-purpose formula suitable for a range of pipe diameters and schedules commonly found in DWV, pressure, and potable water piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this product as part of a code-compliant solvent-weld joint procedure.

This primer is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PVC or CPVC pipe and fittings are joined using solvent cement. The purple tint provides a visible indicator that surfaces have been primed, which is required by many local plumbing codes and inspection authorities. It is suited for use in drain, waste, and vent systems as well as cold and hot water supply lines when paired with the appropriate solvent cement.

Key Features

• Low-VOC formula reduces solvent emissions during application
• Purple tint serves as a visible primer indicator for code inspections
• All-purpose formulation works on both PVC and CPVC substrates
• 16 oz container sized for field and service work
• Conditions pipe and fitting surfaces for a strong solvent-cement bond

Compatibility

Designed for use with PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings in DWV, pressure, and potable water piping applications.

Installation Notes

Primer must be applied by a qualified plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes, IPC guidelines, and the pipe and cement manufacturers instructions. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or joining pipe. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the fitting socket using the appropriate applicator, then apply solvent cement while surfaces are still wet. Work in a well-ventilated area, as solvent vapors are flammable and can be harmful if inhaled.
