OATEY O31017 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size PVC pipe can Oatey 31017 medium body clear cement be used on?
Oatey 31017 handles all schedules and classes of PVC pipe and fittings up to 6 inch diameter, provided the joint is an interference fit. Above 6 inches you need a heavy body cement instead.
2) Can I use Oatey 31017 clear cement on a potable water line?
Yes. The 31017 PVC cement is approved for DWV, pressure pipe, potable water and electrical applications, and it complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements.
3) Will Oatey 31017 PVC cement work on CPVC or ABS pipe?
No. The 31017 is a PVC-only solvent cement. For CPVC you need a CPVC-specific cement, and ABS requires ABS cement; an ABS-to-PVC transition calls for a transition cement. Using PVC cement on those materials will not produce a sound weld.
4) Does Oatey 31017 meet California VOC rules for solvent cement?
It is a low VOC formula meeting California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, and it is certified to UL Greenguard Gold. It also meets ASTM D2564, the standard for PVC solvent cements, which is what most plumbing codes reference on an inspection.
5) How cold can it be to use Oatey 31017 PVC cement outdoors?
The recommended application temperature range is 40 to 110 degrees F (4 to 43 degrees C). Below 40 degrees F, switch to a cement formulated for low temperature work.
6) Do I still need primer if I am using Oatey 31017 clear cement?
The 31017 is a cement, not a primer, so it does not replace one. Many jurisdictions require a primer on PVC pressure joints, and inspectors often look for the purple stain as proof. Order a PVC primer alongside the cement if your code or the job spec calls for one.
7) Why choose medium body clear cement over a regular body PVC cement?
Medium body has better gap filling, so it is the choice when fittings are loose or on larger diameters up to 6 inches. Regular body is thinner and suited to small diameter pipe with tight fits. The clear color also leaves no visible stain on exposed or finished work where a purple or blue cement would show.
8) Is the Oatey 31017 can usable for electrical PVC conduit?
Yes, electrical is one of the listed applications for this cement, alongside DWV, pressure pipe and potable water. That makes a single can workable across plumbing and conduit work on the same job.
