Clear PVC/CPVC Primer 8 oz

Oatey 30751 is a clear aggressive primer formulated for PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. It removes surface dirt, grease and grime while softening the pipe to prepare a fast, secure solvent weld. The low-VOC formula meets SCAQMD 1168/316A and BAAQMD method 40 environmental requirements. NSF listed and compliant with ASTM F656.

Plumbing preparation essentials

This primer is applied before solvent cement to ensure proper adhesion on compatible plastic piping systems. It cleans and softens the fitting surface so the subsequent cement can fuse the joint effectively. The 8 oz container suits residential repairs and small-scale installation projects. It is not intended for buyers who need a combined cleaner-and-cement product or larger-volume containers for commercial job sites.

Low-VOC formulation and compliance

The solvent-based primer meets strict air-quality standards including SCAQMD 1168/316A and BAAQMD method 40 for reduced emissions. Normal use produces noticeable solvent odour, so ventilation is recommended during application. The liquid flashes off quickly to allow prompt cement application and joint assembly. It is not designed for low-temperature or high-humidity conditions outside standard plumbing practice.
