OATEY 30900 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use Oatey 30900 green cement to join ABS pipe to PVC pipe?
That's exactly what it's for. Oatey 30900 is a green transition cement that solvent welds ABS to PVC in non-pressure joints up to 6 inch diameter. The typical case is an ABS-plumbed building tying into a PVC local sewer line. It is a DWV product, so don't put it on pressure piping.
2) Will an inspector accept green transition cement on an ABS to PVC joint?
The 30900 transition cement meets ASTM D3138, the standard that covers solvent cements for transition joints between ABS and PVC, and it complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements. The green color is the code-recognized visual cue that a transition cement was used, which is what an inspector looks for at the joint. It is also low VOC, meeting SCAQMD 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40, so it can be used on jobs in those California air districts.
3) Is regular PVC cement OK for an ABS to PVC connection instead of the green transition cement?
No. Standard PVC cement and ABS black cement are each formulated for one material. For a joint where an ABS pipe meets a PVC fitting or vice versa, you need a transition-type cement like the Oatey 30900, which is built specifically for that mixed-material weld and carries the green color that identifies it. The other route some jurisdictions require is a mechanical no-hub or shielded coupling rather than a solvent weld, so check what the local authority allows before you glue.
4) Can I use this cement outside in cold weather?
Application range for the 30900 green transition cement is 40 to 110 degrees F (4 to 43 degrees C). Below 40 F the cure is outside the recommended window, so on a winter trench job either warm the work area or wait for the temperature to come up.
5) Is this cement approved for use inside occupied buildings or schools?
Oatey's solvent cement and primer products, including the 30900 green transition cement, are certified to UL GREENGUARD Gold, which addresses chemical emissions for indoor environments such as schools and healthcare spaces. It is also a low VOC formula meeting the California SCAQMD and BAAQMD limits. Normal ventilation practice during application still applies.
6) Do I need to prime the pipe before using Oatey green transition cement?
The 30900 is a one-step transition cement in the sense that it is the only cement in the joint, but priming follows the same rule as any PVC solvent weld: many codes require a purple primer on the PVC side, and ABS is normally cleaned rather than primed. Cut square, deburr, and wipe the surfaces clean so the medium-viscosity cement can do its job filling the gap.
7) What is the exact Oatey part number and can size for the green ABS to PVC transition cement?
Order Oatey model 30900. It is the 4 oz can of green ABS to PVC transition cement, listed at 0.3 lb product weight and 0.012 volume. One model, one size, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
