OATEY 30780 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey 30780 purple primer be used on both PVC and CPVC pipe?
Yes. Oatey 30780 is a dual-purpose purple primer and cleaner formulated for both PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. It softens the joining surfaces for solvent cement while also stripping surface dirt, oils and other contaminants off the pipe and fitting socket.
2) Will purple primer satisfy an inspector who wants to see that primer was applied?
That is exactly what the purple tint is for. Oatey 30780 leaves a visible purple stain on the pipe and fitting so an inspector can verify primer was used where plumbing code requires primer verification. It also meets ASTM F656 and complies with NSF/ANSI 61 health effects requirements. Codes vary by jurisdiction, so confirm your local authority accepts this product.
3) What is the difference between Oatey 30780 and a primer-only product?
The 30780 is a combination primer and cleaner, so it both cleans contaminants off the pipe and primes it in one step. Oatey states it is less aggressive than primer-only products, which means it softens the pipe surface less. On some jobs or under some local codes a straight primer is required instead, so check acceptability with your local code before specifying it.
4) Is Oatey 30780 low VOC enough for California air quality rules?
It is a low VOC primer/cleaner that meets the California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1171/M24. All Oatey solvent cement and primer products are also certified to UL Greenguard Gold, which matters on schools, healthcare and other projects with indoor air quality requirements.
5) Do I need a separate brush or dauber to apply Oatey 30780?
No extra applicator is needed. The can has an in-lid dauber, and it works on any diameter of PVC or CPVC piping. You still have to buy solvent cement separately, since the 30780 is primer and cleaner only, not an adhesive.
6) What size can is the Oatey 30780 purple primer, and is it practical for small service calls?
The 30780 is a small can, listed at 0.012 cubic feet volume and 0.25 lb product weight, which makes it a service-truck size rather than a bulk jug for a rough-in crew. For repair plumbers and maintenance techs doing a handful of joints per call, one can plus a matching PVC or CPVC cement covers the work.
7) What part number should I order for Oatey purple primer/cleaner?
Order Oatey 30780. The manufacturer part number is 30780 and it carries UPC 038753307800, which is the purple primer/cleaner with the in-lid dauber.
