Oatey 55914 Purple Pvc Primer 1 Pint

Product Description

The OATEY 55914 is a purple-tinted PVC primer formulated to prepare plastic pipe and fittings for solvent cement bonding. Applied before solvent cement, it softens and cleans the mating surfaces of PVC pipe and fittings, allowing the cement to form a strong fused joint. The purple dye provides a visible indicator that surfaces have been properly primed, which is required by many local plumbing inspection authorities. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this product in new construction and repair work across residential and light commercial applications.

This primer is suited for use on PVC pipe and fitting systems in drain, waste, vent, pressure, and potable water piping. The 1-pint container is a practical size for moderate job volume, keeping material handling simple on the service truck or job site. It is intended for use before application of a compatible solvent cement and must be applied in accordance with applicable code requirements.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and manufacturer instructions. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before working on any pressurized piping system. Apply primer with the dauber to both the pipe end and fitting socket, allow surfaces to become tacky, then apply solvent cement immediately. Work in a well-ventilated area, as the primer contains flammable solvents and produces vapors that require respiratory precaution.
