Oatey Company 31423 Clr Pipe Cleaner Wipe 24 Pack

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 31423 is a clear pipe cleaner wipe designed to prepare ABS, PVC, and CPVC pipe and fittings for solvent welding. Each wipe removes soil, dirt, grease, and grime from pipe surfaces before cement application, ensuring a clean bonding surface and a reliable finished joint. This product is sold in a pack of 24 individual wipes, making it practical for job sites where multiple joints will be made in a single session. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on proper surface preparation as a fundamental step in meeting code-compliant solvent-welded connections.

These cleaner wipes are appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipe and fittings. Typical use includes drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping as well as potable water supply lines assembled with CPVC. The wipe format eliminates the need to carry a separate can of liquid cleaner on smaller service calls or repair jobs, and the individual unit packaging reduces waste and solvent evaporation between uses.

Key Features

• Cleans ABS, PVC, and CPVC pipe and fitting surfaces prior to solvent welding
• Removes soil, dirt, grease, and grime effectively in a single-use wipe format
• Clear formulation leaves no residue that would interfere with cement adhesion
• Sold as a 24-pack for multi-joint jobs and job-site convenience
• Compact individual wipe eliminates the need for a separate liquid cleaner container on small repairs

Compatibility

Designed for use with ABS, PVC, and CPVC pipe and fittings as a surface-preparation step before solvent cement application.

Installation Notes

Pipe cleaner wipes are applied by licensed plumbers and qualified pipefitters as the first step in the solvent-welding process before any primer or cement is applied. Ensure the work area is adequately ventilated when using solvent-based cleaning products. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including IPC and local amendments, for required surface preparation procedures on solvent-welded joints. Dispose of used wipes in accordance with local regulations governing solvent-saturated materials.
