OATEY 30892 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey 30892 ABS cement be used on PVC or CPVC pipe?
No. The 30892 black cement is formulated for ABS pipe and fittings only. Joining PVC or CPVC, or making an ABS-to-PVC transition joint, calls for a different solvent cement (transition cement for ABS-to-PVC). Using ABS cement on PVC will not produce a sound solvent weld.
2) What size ABS pipe will one 16 oz can of Oatey black ABS cement handle?
It covers all schedules and classes of ABS pipe and fittings up to 6 inch diameter, provided the joint is an interference fit. It's a medium body cement with good gap filling, so it works across the range of DWV fitting tolerances you hit on drain, waste and vent work.
3) Can I use this ABS cement on a pressure line or water supply?
No. The 30892 cement is for non-pressure applications only, which is why it's matched to DWV piping. Pressure supply work needs a cement rated for pressure service in the correct material.
4) How cold can it be to glue ABS with Oatey 30892?
The recommended application range is 40 F to 110 F (4 C to 43 C). Below 40 F the cement thickens and cure slows, so on cold-weather jobs keep the can and the fittings warm until the joint is made. In service, the joint is rated to a maximum use temperature of 82 C.
5) Do I need a primer before using Oatey ABS black cement?
ABS solvent welding does not use a purple primer the way PVC does; the 30892 cement is applied directly to a clean, dry, properly cut and deburred joint. The can includes a dauber for application.
6) Does this ABS cement meet ASTM D2235 and NSF standards for spec work?
It meets ASTM D2235, the standard for solvent cement for ABS plastic pipe and fittings, and complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements. That's the pair of citations most plumbing submittals ask for on a DWV cement.
7) Why is this ABS cement black instead of clear, and does the color matter to an inspector?
The 30892 is a black-pigmented cement, which matches ABS DWV pipe and leaves a visible witness mark at the joint. Inspectors often look for evidence that cement was actually applied all the way around the socket, and the black color makes that easy to verify without staining the surrounding pipe a contrasting color.
8) How much does a 16 oz can of Oatey ABS cement weigh for shipping and stocking?
Listed product weight is 1.128 lb with a volume of 0.034, so a case of them stays light on a truck and stores easily on a service van shelf. Keep the can tightly capped between uses; solvent cement skins over once air gets to it.
