1 Quart Pipe Primer for PVC & CPVC, Clear

Weld-On 14030 Plumbing Primer is a low-VOC, fast-acting solvent preparation formulated for use on PVC and CPVC piping systems. Designed for professional use in pressure and non-pressure applications, this primer chemically softens and prepares thermoplastic pipe and fitting surfaces to promote maximum bond strength when solvent cementing. The product’s thin consistency ensures uniform surface penetration and rapid evaporation, enabling consistent joint integrity under code-compliant installation standards.
