OATEY 32160 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size PVC pipe can Oatey Blue Lava cement handle?
Oatey 32160 Blue Lava hot cement works on all schedules and classes of PVC pipe and fittings up to 6 inch diameter with interference fit. Above that diameter it is out of range, and you would need a heavy-bodied cement rated for larger pipe.
2) Do I need to prime PVC before using Oatey 32160 Blue Lava cement?
On non-pressure DWV work, no primer is needed where local codes permit. Plenty of inspectors still want to see purple primer on the joint, so check your local code before you skip it. For pressure work, follow the primer requirement your code sets.
3) Can I glue PVC in cold weather with this Oatey blue cement?
The recommended application temperature for Blue Lava is 40 F to 110 F (4 C to 43 C). It is a very fast setting cement built for fast pressurization and joint strength development in all weather, but below 40 F you are outside the recommended window.
4) Will Oatey Blue Lava cement pass a low-VOC jurisdiction like California SCAQMD?
Yes. It is a low VOC solvent cement meeting California South Coast Air Quality Management District 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, and it meets ASTM D2564 for PVC solvent cement. It is also certified to UL Greenguard Gold, which matters for schools and healthcare specs.
5) Can I use this Oatey cement on CPVC or ABS pipe?
No. Blue Lava is a PVC solvent cement, formulated to weld PVC pipe and fittings. CPVC needs a CPVC-specific cement and ABS needs ABS cement or an ABS-to-PVC transition cement. Using the wrong one gives you a joint that will not hold.
6) What jobs is Oatey 32160 Blue Lava cement meant for?
It is aimed at DWV repair, irrigation, and pool and spa applications. The very fast set is the point: it is for repair and service work where you want to get the line back in service quickly rather than long, leisurely assembly of a big fitting run.
7) Does the Oatey 32160 can come with an applicator dauber?
Yes, a dauber is included in the 4 oz can, so no separate brush is needed for small-diameter repair work. The can holds 4 oz and weighs about 0.348 lb.
