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.

Cement cannot be sold to the areas listed due to VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) regulations.
