Oatey Company 30756 Purple Pvc Cpvc Primer 8 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 30756 is an 8 oz purple primer designed for use on PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings in solvent-cement joining applications. Purple primer softens and prepares pipe and fitting surfaces before cement is applied, ensuring a proper chemical bond. The purple colorant is specifically formulated for use where local plumbing codes require visible verification that primer was applied before cementing. This product exceeds ASTM F-656 standards and carries NSF certification, meeting the requirements for potable water system work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems will find this primer appropriate for code-compliant installations.

This primer is suited for cold and hot water supply lines, drain-waste-vent (DWV) systems, and irrigation piping constructed from PVC or CPVC. It is commonly used on residential rough-in plumbing, commercial tenant improvement work, and repair applications where inspectors require color-coded primer evidence. The 8 oz container is appropriate for single-trade or small-volume work, and the product is sold individually with a package quantity of 24 units per case for stocking purposes.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by licensed plumbers following IPC or local adopted plumbing code requirements. Before applying primer, ensure the work area is well ventilated, as primer fumes are flammable and can be hazardous in enclosed spaces. 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 dauber applicator, allow it to flash briefly, then apply solvent cement immediately while surfaces remain tacky.
