Kraloy 078054 PVC Conduit Primer, Purple, 1 Quart (946 ml), Low VOC
The Kraloy 078054 PVC Conduit Primer is a purple, low VOC primer formulated to prepare PVC conduit and fitting surfaces for solvent-weld cement joints. Supplied in a convenient 1 quart (946 ml) container, this primer softens and etches the PVC surface so that solvent cement can form a strong, code-compliant bond between conduit and fittings. The purple color allows inspectors and installers to visually verify that a joint has been properly primed before cementing. Designed for use on electrical conduit systems, this primer helps ensure long-lasting, leak-free connections when installing PVC conduit runs, boxes, and fittings on job sites where dependable, professional-grade preparation products are required.
Key Features

Kraloy 078054 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why does PVC conduit primer need to be purple?
The purple color is there so the joint can be inspected. Once the Kraloy 078054 primer is wiped on a conduit end and socket, the violet stain shows an inspector and the installer that the surface was actually primed before cement went on. That visual confirmation is the reason most electrical jurisdictions call for purple rather than clear primer on solvent-weld conduit work.
2) Is primer alone enough to join PVC conduit, or do I still need cement?
Primer is only step one. The Kraloy 078054 softens and etches the PVC surface so solvent cement can fuse the conduit to the fitting; it does not bond anything by itself. You order a compatible PVC solvent cement alongside it to complete the joint.
3) Can I use Kraloy 078054 primer on plumbing PVC pipe as well as electrical conduit?
Kraloy formulates the 078054 as a PVC conduit primer for electrical raceway work, rigid PVC conduit, boxes, and fittings. It is a PVC primer, so the chemistry is prepping PVC surfaces, but the product is specified for electrical conduit systems rather than sold as a pressure-pipe potable water product. For plumbing joints, buy a primer labeled for that service.
4) Is this a low VOC primer for jobs with air quality restrictions?
Yes. Kraloy formulates the 078054 to low VOC requirements, which reduces volatile organic compound emissions during application. That matters on institutional and occupied-building work where the spec or the local air district limits VOC content in solvent primers.
5) How much conduit will a quart of Kraloy primer cover?
The 078054 ships in a 1 quart (946 ml) can, which Kraloy sizes for multiple joints across several conduit runs rather than a single repair. Crews doing continuous raceway assembly tend to buy the quart so they are not reordering mid-job; for one or two fittings on a service call a smaller can is the sensible buy.
6) What is the exact part number and UPC for Kraloy purple conduit primer in the quart size?
Kraloy part number 078054, UPC 622454780545, purple PVC conduit primer, 1 quart (946 ml). That is the single model offered, so there is no finish or size variation to specify on the order.
7) Does purple primer work on existing conduit for a repair, or only new installs?
Both. The 078054 is used for new construction raceway assembly and for retrofits and job site repairs, as long as the surfaces being joined are clean rigid PVC. Wipe the old conduit end and the replacement fitting socket, then cement while the primer is still wet.
