PVC Glue | McMaster-Carr

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

Pipe Cement for Corrosive Waste Plastic Pipe

Because this cement won't break down when exposed to corrosive waste, it's often used on plastic pipe fittings in laboratories.

Sealants

These sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.

Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.
