OATEY 30756 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use Oatey purple primer on ABS drain pipe?
No. The Oatey 30756 purple primer is made for PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings, and it is specifically not recommended for ABS piping installations. For ABS you want an ABS cement instead; ABS joints are normally made without a primer.
2) Does purple primer satisfy an inspector who wants to see primer on the joint?
That is exactly what the purple tint is for. Oatey 30756 leaves a visible purple ring at the joint so an inspector can verify primer was used where plumbing code requires it. If your job is in an area where purple is not wanted for appearance, you need a clear primer instead, since the color cannot be removed.
3) What temperature can I apply Oatey 30756 purple primer at in cold weather?
Application range is 40 to 110 degrees F (4 to 43 degrees C). Below 40 F the primer is outside its stated application window, so on a cold morning either warm the work area or wait. The finished joint has a maximum use temperature of 93 degrees C.
4) Is Oatey purple primer approved for potable water lines?
The 30756 purple primer complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements, which is the standard covering materials in contact with drinking water. It also meets ASTM F656, the specification for PVC primers.
5) Is this a low-VOC primer I can use on a California job?
Yes. Oatey 30756 is a low VOC primer that meets the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1171/M24 requirements, so it is usable where those VOC limits apply. Oatey's solvent cement and primer products are also certified to UL Greenguard Gold.
6) What does primer actually do, and can I skip it and just use cement?
The purple primer removes surface dirt, grease and grime while pre-softening the pipe wall so the solvent cement can fuse the joint quickly and securely. Skipping it on PVC or CPVC leaves contamination and an unsoftened surface, and most codes that call for primer also want the purple color visible for inspection.
7) Can I use the same purple primer on DWV drain lines and on CPVC hot water lines?
Yes, one can covers both. Oatey 30756 is listed for DWV pipe applications and works on PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings, so a contractor can carry a single primer for drain, waste and vent work and CPVC supply. Match the cement to the material: PVC cement for PVC, CPVC cement for CPVC.
8) What size is the Oatey 30756 can and how much does it weigh for shipping paperwork?
It is an 8 oz can, listed at 0.567 in product weight and 0.019 in volume. Order the MPN as 30756.
