pvc

[wirick21]

I was just wondering if you can just use regular pvc glue or is there something different you have to use?

 

Thanks

I have always used Oatey - regular clear - for ridgid pvc.

When I'm working with tiger flex pvc I use Oatey wet-N-shine. (blue)

I generally do not use purple primer, but it's my house and floors. :D

I allow some set up time before putting joints in service.

Good old oatey!  Yes if it is safe for drinking water it is safe for the tank (general rule of thumb).  I have heard of people using the purple pirmer to ppaint pipes unitl the corraline grows over it  :D

I always get the double pack, so have always primed, like chip, I use a different one for flex PVC.

For both, let cure overnight.

for external joints, i use the clear primer and glue, it looks alot nicer when complete.
