PRECAUTIONS
Read all information carefully before using this product.
DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. VAPORS MAY
CAUSE FLASH FIRES. MAY IRRITATE EYES AND
SKIN. VAPOR HARMFUL. MAY IRRITATE
RESPIRATORY TRACT AND CAUSE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. HARMFUL OR
FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
May cause irritation to eyes, skin, and nose, throat, and
respiratory tract. May cause coughing, sore throat,
difficulty breathing, headache, dizziness, nausea. Long
term repeated overexposures to solvents may cause
damage to the brain, nervous system, reproductive system,
respiratory system, mucous membranes, liver, and kidneys.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
FIRST AID: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. Drink water and call a doctor or poison
control center immediately. This product may be aspirated
into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis, a
potentially fatal condition. If contact with eyes, flush with
water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation
persists. If contact with skin, flush with water and then use
baby oil or Oatey Hand Cleaner to remove residue. If
inhaled and ill feelings develop, get fresh air and obtain
medical attention if ill feelings persist. FOR EMERGENCY
FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS CALL 1-877-740-5015.
FIRE: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
extinguisher. Water spray may be applied to reduce
potential vapors or for cooling. Burning liquid extinguished
with water will float and may re-ignite on surface of water.
SPILLS: Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate area.
Personnel cleaning up the spill should wear appropriate
personal protective equipment, including respirators if
vapor concentrations are high. Soak up spill with absorbent
material. Put absorbent material in covered, labeled metal
containers. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
A fire or explosion may result if dry granular calcium
hypochlorite is used to disinfect plastic piping systems and
is exposed to organic vapors found in solvent cements,
cleaners or primers. Do not disinfect piping system with
dry granules. Do not store dry granular calcium
hypochlorite near solvent cements, cleaners or primers.
DO NOT REUSE EMPTY CONTAINER. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.
Refer to material safety data sheet for more information.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Read all directions carefully before using this product.
• Do not breathe vapors. Use only in well ventilated area.
If forced air ventilation is used, be sure it does not cause
a fire hazard from solvent vapors. If adequate ventilation
cannot be provided, wear a NIOSH-approved respirator
for organic solvents. • Do not use or store near heat,
sparks, or flames. Do not smoke, eat or drink when
using. Do not take internally. Vapors may accumulate in
low places and may ignite explosively. • Store and use at
temperatures between 40ºF and 110ºF. At temperatures
outside of this range, special care must be taken to
prepare good joints and prevent exposures to solvents.
• Stir or shake before using; if jelly-like, don’t use. Keep
container closed when not in use. • Avoid eye and skin
contact - wear safety glasses with side shields and wear
rubber gloves. • Do not thin.
1. Square pipe ends and remove all burrs and dirt.
2. Check dry fit of pipe and fitting. Pipe should easily
go 1/3 of the way into the fitting. If the pipe
bottoms, it should be snug.
3. Use a suitable applicator at least 1/2 the size of the
pipe diameter. For larger size pipe systems use a
natural bristle brush or roller.
4. Clean pipe and fitting with a listed primer.
5. Apply liberal coat of cement to pipe to the depth of
the socket; leave no uncoated surface.
6. Apply a thin coat of cement to inside of fitting; avoid
puddling of cement. Puddling can cause weakening
and premature failure of pipe or fitting. Apply a
second coat of cement to the pipe.
7. Assemble parts QUICKLY. Cement must be fluid. If
cement surface has dried, recoat both parts.
8. Push pipe FULLY into fitting using a 1/4 turning
motion until pipe bottoms.
9. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds to
prevent pipe push-out – longer at low temperatures.
Wipe off excess.
10. Allow 15 minutes for good handling strength and 2
hours cure time at temperatures above 60ºF before
hydrostatic pressure testing up to 180 psi. Longer
cure times may be required at temperatures below
60ºF or with pipe diameters over 3”. DO NOT TEST
WITH AIR.
This product is not for use with caustic or acidic chemical
solutions. Consult Oatey Technical Department for more
