Weld-on 14026 Pvc Cpvc Pipe Primer 1 Pint Purple

Product Description

The WELD-ON 14026 is a fast-acting solvent primer formulated to soften and condition PVC and CPVC pipe and fitting surfaces before solvent cement is applied. Manufactured by IPS Corporation, this liquid primer penetrates and prepares pipe surfaces to promote maximum fusion strength at solvent-welded joints. The purple color provides visible confirmation of proper primer application, which is required by many plumbing codes before cement is applied. It is designed for use on both pipe and fittings in pressure and non-pressure piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this product as a critical first step in assembling PVC and CPVC piping systems.

This primer is suited for industrial, commercial, municipal, and residential piping applications where ASTM compliance and code-mandated surface preparation are required. It is applied ahead of solvent cement on PVC and CPVC systems including potable water, drain-waste-vent, irrigation, and industrial process lines. The 1-pint container is practical for service calls and smaller installations where a full quart or gallon is not warranted.

Key Features

• Fast-acting solvent formula softens and conditions PVC and CPVC surfaces for a strong solvent-welded bond
• Purple color provides clear visual confirmation that primer has been applied prior to cement
• Liquid form applies easily with the dauber or applicator included in the container
• Meets ASTM standards and is specified for code-compliant piping installations
• Suitable for industrial, commercial, municipal, and residential piping systems

Compatibility

Designed for use on PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings as a preparatory primer prior to solvent cement application in solvent-welded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Primer application is performed by licensed plumbers following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any joint preparation. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the fitting socket, allow the solvent to flash briefly, then apply solvent cement while surfaces are still softened. Work in a well-ventilated area, as solvent vapors are flammable and should be kept away from open flames and ignition sources.
