Oatey oat-30782 Pvc Plastic Cleaner 8 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY oat-30782 is an 8-ounce clear plastic cleaner formulated for use on PVC, CPVC, and ABS plastic pipe and fittings prior to solvent cementing. Supplied in a convenient can, this cleaner removes surface dirt, grease, and moisture to promote proper adhesion when solvent cement is applied. The formula is a translucent, clear solvent blend with a specific gravity of 0.79 and a VOC content of 180 g/L. Net weight is 0.5 pounds. It is a standard prep step for plumbers and pipefitters working on plastic piping systems in residential and light commercial applications.

This cleaner is used on plastic pipe and fitting assemblies before cementing. It is appropriate for drain, waste, and vent systems as well as pressure piping in potable water, irrigation, and similar applications where PVC or CPVC materials are specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters apply this product as part of a two-step solvent weld process: clean first, cement second. The 8-ounce can size is suited for service work, small jobs, and field repairs.

Installation Notes

This product is applied by licensed plumbers prior to solvent cementing plastic pipe joints. Work in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or ignition sources due to the low flash point of -4 degrees F. Apply cleaner to the pipe end and fitting socket using the dauber or a clean rag, allow the surface to flash off briefly, then immediately apply solvent cement per the cement manufacturer instructions. Follow all local plumbing codes, including IPC and applicable ASTM standards for solvent-weld joints.
