FAQ
Q: Do I need to use primer with this cement?
A: While PVC-50 may be used without primer on Schedule 40 pipe and fittings if local code permits, using primer is always recommended for the strongest, most reliable bonds, especially in pressure applications.

A: Yes! The Hot Blue all-weather formulation is specifically designed to perform well in cold, wet, or damp conditions where standard PVC cements may struggle.
Q: How long does it take to set?
A: This is a very fast-setting cement. Initial set occurs within minutes, but allow proper cure time (typically 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on temperature and pipe size) before pressure testing.
Q: What pipe sizes can I use this on?
A: This cement works on Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings through 6" diameter and Schedule 80 through 4" diameter.
