Oatey Company 30863 Clear Heavy Body Pvc Cement 8 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 30863 is a clear, heavy-body PVC solvent cement formulated for joining PVC pipe and fittings up to 12 inches in diameter. The thick-bodied formula is engineered to fill gaps in larger-diameter pipe and accommodate loose-fitting joints, making it well-suited for demanding installations where standard-viscosity cements may not provide adequate gap-fill. It meets ASTM D-2564 requirements and is approved for use on potable water, pressure pipe, gas, conduit, and DWV systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though qualified contractors working on conduit applications also use this product regularly.

This cement is recommended for all grades and types of PVC pipe and fittings on Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 systems. Typical applications include residential and commercial plumbing rough-in, underground DWV runs, potable water distribution, pressure piping, gas service piping, and electrical conduit installations. The recommended application temperature range is 40 degrees F to 100 degrees F, which covers most standard field conditions. Its clear color allows for discreet joints on visible piping runs.

Installation Notes

PVC solvent cementing is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Before applying cement, ensure the pipe end and fitting socket are clean, dry, and free of burrs. Apply primer where required by the applicable code before applying cement. Work in a well-ventilated area, as solvent cement fumes are flammable and can be hazardous in enclosed spaces.
