OATEY 31016 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size PVC pipe can Oatey 31016 regular body clear cement handle?
Oatey 31016 clear cement works on all schedules and classes of PVC pipe and fittings up to 4 in. for Schedule 40, and up to 2 in. for Schedule 80 with interference fit. Above those sizes you need a medium or heavy body cement instead, since regular body is too thin to fill the gap on larger joints.
2) Can Oatey 31016 clear cement be used on potable water lines, or just drain pipe?
Both. The 31016 solvent welds PVC for DWV, pressure pipe, potable water and electrical conduit applications, and it complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements along with ASTM D2564.
3) Will Oatey 31016 cement bond CPVC or ABS pipe?
No. The 31016 is a PVC-only solvent cement. CPVC needs a CPVC-specific cement, ABS needs ABS cement, and a PVC-to-ABS transition needs a transition cement. Using PVC cement on CPVC or ABS will not produce a sound weld.
4) What temperature can you apply Oatey PVC clear cement in?
Recommended application range is 40 F to 110 F (4 C to 43 C). Below 40 F the solvent flashes off too slowly and the weld suffers, so cold-weather work on an unheated site should wait or move indoors. Maximum use temperature for the finished joint is 60 C.
5) Do I still need primer with Oatey clear PVC cement?
Yes on anything inspected. The 31016 is a solvent cement, not a one-step product, and most plumbing codes require a separate purple primer on PVC pressure and DWV joints so the inspector can see it was used. Keep the primer and cement from the same system.
6) Does Oatey 31016 meet low-VOC rules for California jobs?
It does. The 31016 is a low VOC solvent cement meeting California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40 requirements, and Oatey solvent cements and primers are certified to UL Greenguard Gold.
7) Is clear cement a good choice for exposed plumbing where the joints will be seen?
That is the main reason to pick it. The clear formula leaves no colored ring at the fitting hub, so exposed work in finished spaces, mechanical rooms on display, or anywhere an owner will see the pipe looks cleaner than it would with blue or gray cement. Where an inspector wants visual proof of solvent welding, purple primer under the clear cement provides it.
8) How much cement is in the Oatey 31016 can and how heavy is it?
It is a gallon can, listed at 0.199 volume units and 8.55 lb product weight. A gallon size suits crews running long DWV or pressure runs over several days; for a single repair, a smaller can avoids the cement skinning over before it is used up.
9) What is the correct part number to reorder Oatey gallon clear PVC cement?
Order Oatey part 31016, UPC 038753310169. That number is the gallon, regular body, clear PVC formula specifically, so it distinguishes it from Oatey's medium and heavy body clear cements and from the smaller can sizes.
