OATEY 30875 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey 30875 clear cement be used on flexible PVC pipe, or is it only for rigid PVC?
Flexible PVC is exactly what the 30875 medium body clear cement is built for. It solvent welds flexible PVC pipe to rigid fittings up to 6 in. diameter on an interference fit, and it meets the pipe manufacturer's rated line pressure for flexible PVC. That matters because a standard rigid-to-rigid cement can go brittle at the joint where flexible pipe moves.
2) What cement should I use for a pool or spa plumbing job with flexible PVC?
The Oatey 30875 medium body clear cement is rated to withstand the pressures and vibrations of pool and spa installations, which is the usual failure point on spa lines, a joint that works loose under pump vibration. It handles flexible PVC pipe into rigid fittings up to 6 in. diameter.
3) How cold can it be when I use Oatey 30875 PVC cement?
Recommended application temperature for the 30875 clear cement is 40 F to 110 F (4 C to 43 C). Below 40 F you are outside the recommended window, so on a cold morning crawlspace or an outdoor spa line in winter, warm the work area or wait, rather than cementing and hoping.
4) Is Oatey 30875 cement approved for potable water lines?
The 30875 clear cement complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements and meets ASTM D2564, the standard specification for PVC solvent cement. Those are the two things a plumbing inspector looks for on a potable PVC joint.
5) Can I use Oatey 30875 on CPVC or ABS pipe?
No. The 30875 is a PVC cement. CPVC needs a CPVC-listed solvent cement, and ABS needs ABS cement, they are different formulations and mixing them gives you a joint that is not code compliant. Its compliance is to ASTM D2564, the PVC solvent cement standard.
6) Is Oatey 30875 a low VOC cement that meets California air quality rules?
It is. The 30875 is a low VOC solvent cement meeting the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, so it is usable on jobs in the Los Angeles and Bay Area districts where high VOC cements are restricted. All Oatey solvent cement and primer products are also certified to UL Greenguard Gold, which is the one purchasing departments on LEED or school projects ask about.
7) Does Oatey 30875 clear cement require a primer first?
The 30875 is a cement, not a cement-and-primer in one, so a PVC primer is the separate purchase that goes with it. Oatey lists primer products alongside its cements under the same Greenguard Gold certification. Check your local code, some jurisdictions require purple primer on PVC for visual proof of prep.
8) Why use clear PVC cement instead of the blue or purple colored cement?
Clear leaves no colored smear on the finished joint, which is what you want on exposed pool equipment pads, finished mechanical rooms, and anywhere the piping is visible. The 30875 solvent welds the same PVC pipe and fittings as a tinted cement and carries the same ASTM D2564 compliance. If your inspector wants visible evidence that cement was applied, a colored cement is the easier call.
9) How big a can is Oatey 30875 and how much does it weigh for shipping?
It is a 4 oz. can of medium body clear cement, listed at a product weight of 0.366. Small enough that MRO and property maintenance buyers typically keep several on the truck rather than one large can that skins over between jobs.
