OATEY 32164 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size PVC pipe can Oatey Blue Lava hot cement be used on?
Oatey 32164 Blue Lava solvent cement works on all schedules and classes of PVC pipe and fittings up to 6 inch diameter, provided the joint is an interference fit. Above 6 inch you need a heavy-bodied cement rated for that diameter instead.
2) Do I still need to use primer with Oatey Blue Lava cement?
On non-pressure DWV, no primer is needed where local codes permit. That is the one exception, so for pressure work (irrigation, pool and spa lines) plan on priming the pipe and socket first, and check what your local inspector requires before you skip it on DWV.
3) Can I use Blue Lava cement in cold weather?
The recommended application temperature range for Blue Lava is 40 to 110 degrees F (4 to 43 degrees C). It is formulated for fast pressurization and joint strength development in all weather within that window, which is why crews reach for it on cold-morning repairs, but below 40 degrees F you are outside the recommended range.
4) Does this PVC cement meet low-VOC rules in California?
Blue Lava is a low VOC solvent cement that meets California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, and it meets ASTM D2564. Oatey solvent cement and primer products are also certified to UL Greenguard Gold, which matters on school and healthcare specs.
5) Can I use blue PVC cement on CPVC or ABS pipe?
No. Oatey 32164 Blue Lava solvent welds PVC only, on PVC pipe and fittings up to 6 inch. CPVC and ABS each need their own cement, and transition joints between dissimilar materials call for a transition cement or a mechanical coupling.
6) Is Oatey 32164 cement approved for pool and spa plumbing?
Yes. Oatey Blue Lava is called out for DWV repair, irrigation, and pool and spa applications. It is a very fast setting blue PVC cement, so it suits repair work where you need to get water back on quickly.
7) How much cement is in the Oatey 32164 gallon can?
Oatey 32164 is the gallon size of Blue Lava PVC cement, with a listed product weight of 7.667 pounds. The gallon is the size to buy for a repipe or a large irrigation run; for a single service call a smaller can is less likely to skin over before you use it.
8) What is the Oatey part number and UPC for the gallon of Blue Lava hot cement?
The manufacturer part number is 32164, UPC 038753321646. Order by 32164 to get the gallon of blue, very fast setting PVC cement rather than one of Oatey's regular-set or clear cements.
