Rheem 523003a Clear Cleaner 8 Oz

Product Description

The RHEEM 523003a is a clear PVC cleaner supplied in an 8-ounce container, formulated for use in plumbing and HVAC condensate drainage applications. Clear cleaners of this type are used to prep PVC and CPVC pipe surfaces before solvent cement is applied, removing dirt, grease, and surface oxidation to promote a strong, leak-free bond. The product is sold individually and is a standard consumable stocked by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters who work with plastic pipe systems in both residential and light commercial settings.

This cleaner is appropriate for PVC and CPVC pipe and fitting assemblies commonly found in drain lines, condensate lines, and low-pressure piping systems. The 8-ounce size is well suited for service calls and small installations where a full-size container is not practical. It is typically used as a first step before solvent cementing, following the pipe manufacturer and solvent cement manufacturer recommendations for surface preparation.
