OATEY 60255 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use Hercules 60255 blue cement on a wet line I can't fully drain?
That's exactly what this one is built for. The Hercules 60255 is a wet-set, medium body PVC cement with a hot formulation for very wet conditions or when the line has to be pressurized quickly. It still isn't a substitute for shutting water off, but on a repair where residual water keeps weeping into the joint, a wet-set hot cement is the right pick over a standard regular-body cement.
2) Is Hercules 60255 cement approved for potable water lines?
Yes. The 60255 meets ASTM D2564 and complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements, and potable water is one of its listed applications along with irrigation, pool, pressure pipe and DWV.
3) How cold can it be before this PVC cement stops working?
The Hercules 60255 carries a recommended application temperature range of -10F to 110F (-23C to 43C), so it's usable well below freezing, which is unusual for solvent cement. The spec attributes on the product also list a 40F/4C minimum and 110F/43C maximum application temperature. Once cured, maximum use temperature is 140F (60C), so keep it off hot water distribution lines.
4) Can I use this blue PVC cement on CPVC or ABS?
No. The 60255 is formulated for PVC only. ABS drain lines need ABS cement, and CPVC hot/cold water needs a CPVC-specific solvent cement. The 140F maximum use temperature is another reason to keep it off hot water lines.
5) Why is this cement blue instead of clear?
The blue color is a visual inspection aid. On commercial and inspected work, an inspector can see at a glance that a joint was cemented, which is why many jurisdictions and specs call for a colored cement on PVC pressure and DWV work. The 60255 is the aqua blue version of the Hercules medium body wet set.
