OATEY 30920 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey 30920 ABS cement be used on 4 inch and 6 inch DWV pipe?
Yes. Oatey 30920 Extra Special medium body black cement works on all schedules and classes of ABS pipe and fittings up to 6 inches in diameter with interference fit, so 3, 4 and 6 inch DWV lines are all covered. It is for non-pressure applications only.
2) What temperature can I use Oatey 30920 ABS cement in?
Recommended application range is 40 F to 110 F (4 C to 43 C). The Extra Special formulation is aimed at hot and arid climates, where the medium viscosity gives more working time before the solvent flashes off. Below 40 F you are outside the recommended window.
3) Does this Oatey ABS cement meet ASTM D2235 and NSF 61?
Yes on both. The 30920 meets ASTM D2235, the standard for ABS solvent cement, and complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements. Those are the two line items a spec or an inspector usually asks for on DWV work.
4) Can I use Oatey 30920 on PVC or CPVC pipe?
No. The 30920 is formulated for ABS only and will not make a sound joint on PVC or CPVC. For an ABS to PVC transition use a cement rated for that specific joint, and for PVC DWV use a PVC solvent cement instead.
5) Do I need a primer with Oatey 30920 black ABS cement?
No separate primer is required for ABS. The 30920 is a one-step black solvent cement that solvent welds ABS pipe and fittings on its own. Clean and dry the joint surfaces first, then cement.
6) Why choose medium body ABS cement over a regular body cement?
Medium viscosity fills gaps better and stays workable longer, which matters on larger fittings and on hot days when a thin cement skins over before you can seat the joint. That is the reason the 30920 is the pick for hot, arid conditions and for pipe up to 6 inches. On small diameter work in mild weather a lighter body cement is easier to handle.
7) What is the maximum service temperature for a joint made with Oatey 30920?
The cement is rated to a maximum use temperature of 82 C, which covers normal DWV service including hot waste discharge. Application is a separate range, 40 F to 110 F.
8) How much does a gallon of Oatey 30920 ABS cement weigh for shipping and storage?
Listed weight is 7.95 lb for the gallon can. Worth knowing if you are stocking a van or a shop shelf, since solvent cement is a flammable liquid and gets stored accordingly.
