Installation & Compatibility

Application Method: Apply a liberal coat to the outer surface of the pipe end and the inner surface of the fitting socket using the dauber supplied with the can or another suitable applicator; do not puddle primer into the socket, and do not wipe it off before cementing.
Working While Wet: Apply the appropriate solvent cement according to the cement label instructions while the primer is still wet.
Pipe/Fitting Compatibility: Formulated for use on all PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings, in all sizes and all schedules.
Cap & Applicator Differences: Pint and quart cans are supplied with a dauber inside the cap, while gallon-size cans are supplied with a plain cap only and require a separate applicator.
Staining Precaution: Purple primer will stain most materials and cannot be removed once dried, so protect surrounding work surfaces, clothing, and skin before use.
