Description
Solvent-weld PVC pipe and fittings into pressure-rated joints with Oatey Medium Clear PVC Cement. Medium-bodied formula handles pipe up to 6 in for pressure applications and up to 12 in for non-pressure DWV — the workhorse size that covers most residential and light-commercial plumbing. Clear color cures invisible — no purple stains around finished joints or exposed installations. Pair with Oatey Clear Primer for a NSF-listed, pressure-rated assembly.
