OATEY 31013 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes can Oatey 31013 PVC cement handle?
The Oatey 31013 regular body clear cement works on all schedules and classes of PVC pipe and fittings up to 4 inches for Schedule 40, and up to 2 inches for Schedule 80 with an interference fit. Above those sizes you want a medium or heavy body cement instead, since regular body does not leave enough gap fill on larger joints.
2) Can Oatey 31013 clear cement be used on potable water lines?
Yes. The 31013 cement is rated for DWV, pressure pipe, potable water and electrical applications, and it complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements. It also meets ASTM D2564, the standard spec for PVC solvent cement that most plumbing codes reference.
3) Is this Oatey cement low-VOC enough for California jobs?
Yes. The 31013 is a low-VOC solvent cement that meets South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, which is what gets it onto California job sites. It is also certified to UL Greenguard Gold, which matters on schools, healthcare and LEED-tracked work.
4) How cold can it be to use Oatey PVC solvent cement outdoors?
Recommended application range for the 31013 cement is 40 to 110 degrees F (4 to 43 degrees C). Below 40 degrees the solvent flashes off too slowly and cure times stretch out, so for winter work schedule the joint for the warm part of the day or use a cement rated for low temperature.
5) Do I need a separate primer with Oatey 31013 cement?
The 31013 is a clear cement, which in many jurisdictions must be used with a primer so an inspector can see the joint was prepped (purple primer is the usual tell). Oatey's solvent cement and primer products are all certified to UL Greenguard Gold, so pairing the 31013 with an Oatey PVC primer keeps the whole assembly on the same low-VOC footing. Check your local code on primer requirements for clear cement before you commit to it.
6) What is the highest temperature a joint made with Oatey 31013 can see in service?
Maximum use temperature for the 31013 cement is 60 degrees C. That covers normal cold water supply and DWV service, but it is not a hot water cement, so do not put it on a domestic hot water or hot process line.
7) Why pick clear PVC cement instead of the purple or gray kind?
Clear cement leaves a clean finish on exposed work, which is why it gets specified where the pipe will be seen or where a gray smear would be objectionable. Gray cements are typically medium or heavy body for larger diameters, and purple is a primer, not a cement. The Oatey 31013 is a fast setting clear regular body cement for PVC up to 4 inch Schedule 40.
