Product Description
The OATEY oat-30757 is a 16 oz purple-tinted aggressive primer formulated for use on all schedules and classes of PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. It cleans surface contaminants including dirt, grease, and grime while chemically softening the pipe surface to prepare it for a fast, secure solvent weld. The purple color provides visible proof that primer was applied, meeting plumbing code requirements in jurisdictions that mandate primer verification. It applies with the in-lid dauber included in the can. NSF-listed for use in potable water and drain applications.
This primer is used in residential and commercial plumbing installations wherever PVC or CPVC solvent welding is required. Typical applications include supply lines, drain-waste-vent systems, irrigation lines, and other pipe assemblies that require a code-compliant solvent weld joint. The purple tint makes it especially practical on inspected work where an inspector must confirm primer use before cement application.

Installation Notes
Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this primer as the first step in a two-part solvent weld process before applying PVC or CPVC cement. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket, allow brief flash-off, then apply cement and assemble immediately. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow all local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for primer use on solvent weld joints. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep away from open flame.
