Whitlam jc-ppl16 Pvc Purple Primer Pint

Product Description

The WHITLAM jc-ppl16 is a purple-tinted PVC primer formulated to prepare PVC pipe and fittings for solvent cement bonding. Applied before cement, it softens and cleans the mating surfaces, promoting a stronger, more reliable joint. This primer is a standard part of the PVC joining process in plumbing, irrigation, and drainage installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on it wherever code requires a visible, inspectable primer application prior to cementing schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC systems.

This product is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation lines, and drain-waste-vent systems that use PVC pipe and fittings. The purple color provides a visible indicator that primer was applied, which is required by many plumbing codes. It is commonly used by journeymen and apprentice plumbers during new construction, remodel, and repair work.

• Softens PVC surfaces to improve solvent cement adhesion and joint integrity
• Compatible with schedule 40 and schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use as a surface preparation primer on PVC pipe and fittings prior to solvent cement bonding in plumbing, drainage, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by licensed plumbers following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the fitting socket using the included dauber, allow brief flash-off time, then apply solvent cement while surfaces are still tacky. Do not use this primer on CPVC or ABS systems without confirming compatibility with the cement manufacturer. Keep away from open flame during application.
