PVC Primer

[bckane]

I see many people use Purple Primer for PVC Plumping....is there any reason to use Purple over the clear primer/cleaner.????

the original reason for purple primer was so the inspectors can see that you actually did primer the sewer pipes before install. The new code has changed so you no longer need the purple and can use the clear.

FWIW, ive never used primer anyhow, but its good practice to... lol


my crappy hd only carries the purple stuff, and yellow cleaner. damn them!

I used the purple stuff, doesn't it soften the PVC? or clean the area of oil and so?

Anyways, it you use it try to not make it so messy. Use your hands and fingers to clean the PVC primer and cement. Clean is always the way to go.

Home Depot has both, I prefer clear looks clean.
