William H. Harvey 018230-12 Pvc Cement 32 Oz

Product Description

The WILLIAM H. HARVEY 018230-12 is a P-12 formula PVC cement designed for solvent-welding PVC pipe and fittings in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Sold in a 32 oz container, this cement creates a chemical bond between mating PVC surfaces by softening and fusing the material at the joint interface. It is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters on drain, waste, vent, and pressure piping applications where a reliable, leak-free connection is required. The P-12 designation indicates a specific viscosity and body formulation suited for a range of PVC pipe schedules and fitting types.

This PVC cement is applied in typical pipe assembly work on residential drain-waste-vent systems, irrigation lines, and low-pressure water supply runs. It is suited for use in new construction and repair scenarios where PVC is the specified pipe material. The 32 oz container size supports higher-volume jobs or repeated use across multiple connections on a single project without requiring frequent restocking.

Key Features

• P-12 formula engineered for solvent-welding PVC pipe and fittings
• 32 oz container size suitable for multi-connection jobs
• Creates a fused, chemical bond at the joint interface
• Applicable to drain, waste, vent, and pressure PVC piping systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with PVC pipe and fittings in standard plumbing and irrigation applications. Consult local code and the manufacturer technical data sheet to confirm suitability for specific pipe schedules, pressure ratings, or fluid types before use.

Installation Notes

PVC solvent cement work is typically performed by licensed plumbers following IPC or applicable local plumbing code requirements. Before applying cement, ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned with the appropriate PVC primer where required by code. Apply cement to both the pipe end and fitting socket, assemble immediately with a quarter-turn twist, and hold the joint firmly for several seconds. Allow adequate cure time per the manufacturer data sheet before pressurizing the system.
