Oatey Company 31128 Cpvc Pipe Cement 4 Oz Medium Body

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 31128 is a medium-bodied, orange CPVC pipe cement formulated for solvent-welding CPVC pipe and fittings in potable water pressure systems. Supplied in a 4 oz can, it delivers a reliable chemical fusion bond on copper tube size (CTS) Schedule 80 CPVC pipe and fittings up to 6 inches in diameter. The orange color distinguishes it from PVC and ABS cements on the job site, reducing misapplication risk. This cement exceeds ASTM D-2846 and ASTM F-493 performance standards and carries NSF certification, making it appropriate for use on systems that carry drinking water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This cement is intended for residential and light commercial potable water pressure piping assemblies using CPVC material. It is specifically suited to copper tube size Schedule 80 CPVC pipe and fittings with diameters up to 6 inches. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines where CPVC is the specified material. The medium body formulation works with standard-clearance CPVC socket joints in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM F-493 application guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system completely before cutting or joining pipe. Apply cement only to clean, dry, properly deburred pipe and fitting surfaces; use the appropriate CPVC primer where required by code. Work in a well-ventilated area and keep the cement away from open flames, as the solvent carrier is flammable.
