Oatey Company 31018 Clear Medium Body Pvc Cement 8 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 31018 is a clear, medium-body PVC solvent cement designed for joining PVC pipe and fittings up to 6 inches in diameter in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 systems. It bonds all grades and types of PVC pipe and fittings across a wide range of piping applications. The cement is formulated for reliable fusion in recommended application temperatures ranging from 40 degrees F to 100 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and electricians working with PVC conduit rely on this product for fast, durable solvent-weld joints that meet ASTM D-2564 requirements.

This cement is suited for residential and commercial installations where PVC is the material of choice. Approved applications include gas piping, electrical conduit, drain-waste-vent (DWV) systems, pressure pipe lines, and potable water distribution. Its clear formulation keeps joints visually clean, which is useful in finished mechanical spaces or where inspection is required. The 8 oz container is a standard field and shop size appropriate for single-trade technicians and service calls.

Installation Notes

PVC solvent cement work is typically performed by licensed plumbers or electricians depending on the application. Before joining, ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and dry. Apply primer where required by local code before applying cement, as many jurisdictions under the IPC or IFGC mandate primer use on pressure and potable water systems. Work within the recommended temperature range and allow adequate cure time before pressurizing or covering the joint.
