OATEY O31918 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use Oatey 31918 CPVC cement on FlowGuard Gold pipe, or do I need a different cement?
Oatey 31918 is approved for use with FlowGuard Gold CPVC piping systems, so it is the correct cement for that pipe rather than a general-purpose PVC product. It solvent welds CPVC hot and cold potable water pipe and fittings in copper tube size (CTS) up to 2 inch diameter with an interference fit.
2) Can I glue CPVC outdoors in freezing weather with this cement?
Yes. The Oatey 31918 is an all weather CPVC cement with a minimum application temperature of 0 degrees F (-18 C), so it can be used on cold-weather service calls and unheated crawl spaces where a standard cement would be out of its range.
3) Is Oatey 31918 CPVC cement safe for potable drinking water lines?
It complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements and meets ASTM F493, the standard for CPVC solvent cements, so it is intended for hot and cold potable water piping.
4) What is the UV indicator in this Oatey yellow CPVC cement for?
The cement carries a fluorescing additive so a UV light shows where cement was applied. On an inspection or a multi-unit rough-in, that lets you or the inspector confirm every joint actually got cement before the walls close, without cutting anything apart.
5) What water temperature can joints made with this CPVC cement handle?
Joints are rated for cold and hot water systems up to 200 degrees F (93 C), which covers standard domestic hot water distribution.
6) Will this Oatey cement pass low-VOC rules in California?
It is a low VOC solvent cement meeting South Coast AQMD Rule 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, so it can be specified on jobs in those California air districts.
