PVC Cement & Primer Set — Solvent Weld Kit for Schedule 40 & 80 PVC

PVC cement and primer are always used together — primer chemically softens the pipe and fitting surfaces, and cement fuses them into a single piece. The result is a joint that is stronger than the pipe itself and completely watertight. Oatey and Weld-On are the industry standards, found on every residential and commercial plumbing job site. Available in clear and colored formulas — some jurisdictions require purple primer for inspection visibility.

Key Features:

• Primer: chemically prepares PVC surfaces for bonding — do not skip this step

• Cement: solvent-weld formula creates a permanent, pressure-rated fusion joint

• Clear cement available for clean, finished-look installations

• Purple primer widely required by code for inspection compliance — check local requirements

• Works on Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings

• Fast set time — can pressure test within 15–30 minutes depending on temperature and pipe size

• VOC-compliant low-emission formulas available for California and other regulated markets
