Oatey 55990 Pvc Rain-r-shine Cement 1 Pint

Product Description

The OATEY 55990 is a PVC solvent cement formulated for wet or damp conditions, making it a reliable choice when rain or moisture is present during installation. Sold in a 1-pint container, this cement is designed to bond PVC pipe and fittings in pressure and non-pressure applications. It is appropriate for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water, irrigation, and drainage systems. The Rain-R-Shine formula is engineered to set and cure even when surfaces cannot be kept completely dry, reducing weather-related installation delays.

This cement is suited for PVC piping systems encountered in residential plumbing, underground drainage, and irrigation work. It is particularly useful on outdoor jobs or in areas where controlling moisture is difficult, such as below-grade installations, wet trenches, or rainy job-site conditions. Plumbers working on schedule 40 and schedule 80 PVC applications will find this a practical solution when standard dry-condition cements are not appropriate.

Key Features

• Wet-condition formula bonds PVC pipe and fittings even when surfaces are damp or wet
• Suitable for pressure and non-pressure PVC systems
• 1-pint container size is practical for field use and moderate-volume jobs
• Designed for residential and light commercial plumbing, drainage, and irrigation applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with PVC pipe and fittings in standard plumbing, drainage, and irrigation applications where solvent cement joining is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines for solvent-welded joints. Ensure adequate ventilation when applying solvent cement, as fumes are flammable and harmful if inhaled. Apply primer as required by local code before cementing, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Keep the container sealed when not in use and store away from heat sources and open flame.
