OATEY 30779 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use Oatey 30779 clear cleaner on ABS, PVC and CPVC pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 30779 clear cleaner is formulated for all schedules and diameters of ABS, PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. It strips surface dirt, oils and other contaminants off the pipe end and socket before you apply cement, and it flows freely and flashes off quickly so you are not waiting on it.
2) Will clear cleaner stain a white PVC or CPVC installation on exposed piping?
Clear is the point of it. The 30779 is clear in color and will not stain most surfaces, so it is the one to reach for on exposed white CPVC, finished fixture work, or anywhere purple primer would show. If your local code inspector requires visible evidence of primer on PVC pressure pipe, a clear cleaner will not satisfy that inspection, and you need a purple primer instead.
3) Is this cleaner approved for potable water lines and low-VOC jurisdictions like California?
Both are covered. Oatey 30779 is a low-VOC cleaner meeting California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, and it complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements for potable water contact. Oatey's solvent cement and primer products are also certified to UL Greenguard Gold, which matters on schools, healthcare and LEED work.
4) What temperature can I apply Oatey 30779 cleaner at on a cold job site?
Application range runs from -15 F (-26 C) up to 110 F (43 C), so it can go on in freezing weather. The maximum use temperature of the finished joint materials is rated to 93 C. Below -15 F, stop work or warm the material.
5) Do I need a separate brush, or does the Oatey 4 oz. cleaner can come with an applicator?
The can includes an in-lid dauber, so nothing else is needed to apply it. You will still need the matching solvent cement for the pipe material you are joining, since a cleaner only preps the surface and does not bond anything.
6) What is the difference between a clear cleaner and a primer for PVC?
A cleaner like the Oatey 30779 removes dirt, oil and contaminants from the pipe and fitting surface. A primer goes further and softens the plastic so the cement can fuse it. On ABS DWV work a cleaner is typically all that is called for; on PVC pressure piping most codes require a primer. Check which your job specifies before substituting one for the other.
7) How much product is in the Oatey 30779 can and what does it weigh for shipping?
It is a 4 oz. can, listed at 0.012 volume units with a product weight of 0.348. For an MRO stockroom that is a single-tech, keep-on-the-truck size rather than a bulk shop container.
