Oatey Company 31008 Clear Heavy Bodied Pvc Cement 32 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 31008 is a 32-ounce clear, heavy-bodied PVC cement formulated for solvent-welding PVC pipe and fittings up to 12 inches in diameter. Its thick consistency is engineered to fill gaps in large-diameter pipe assemblies and compensate for loose-fitting joints, producing a strong, permanent bond. The cement is recommended for use across all grades and types of PVC pipe and fittings, including Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 configurations. It meets ASTM D-2564 standards, making it appropriate for a wide range of pressure and non-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This cement is rated for use on potable water systems, pressure pipe, gas service, electrical conduit, and DWV (drain-waste-vent) applications. The recommended application temperature range is 40 to 100 degrees F, which covers most field conditions during active construction and service work. The heavy-bodied formula is particularly useful in larger-diameter installations where standard-bodied cements may not provide adequate gap fill or working time. It is sold in individual 32-ounce containers packaged 12 units per case.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local adopted standards. Before applying cement, ensure pipe ends and fitting sockets are clean, dry, and free of burrs or debris. Work only in ventilated areas, as solvent cement produces flammable vapors. Do not apply below 40 degrees F or above 100 degrees F, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system.
