Pipe Cement for Plastic Pipe

Create strong, leakproof joints between unthreaded pipe and fittings. Cleaner and primer (sold separately) are recommended to prepare pipe for adhesion.

Cement for CPVC plastic and for PVC plastic meets NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use on drinking water systems. It is also suitable for drain, waste, and vent pipes.

Cement for ABS plastic is for use in drain, waste, and vent systems.

Cement for ABS, PVC, and CPVC plastic works on most plastic pipe, conduit, water lines, and drain, waste, and vent systems.

Adhesives for Sanding Abrasives

Stick sanding discs or sheets to the backup pad on your sander. Also known as disc cement, this adhesive is strong enough to hold discs in place during aggressive sanding, but flexible enough that you can peel them off when you’re done. It works with either paper- or cloth-backed discs, but only use it on backup pads made for pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) discs or sheets.
