Preparing PVC for a strong solvent weld, this 8 Oz. purple PVC primer cleans and softens the pipe and fitting surfaces so the cement can fuse them into a permanent joint. The primer removes surface gloss and dirt and begins to penetrate the PVC, which is what lets the cement chemically bond rather than just stick, producing a far stronger and more reliable connection. Its purple tint is not just for looks -- it leaves a visible mark that shows an inspector the joint was properly primed, meeting plumbing code. Applied with the in-can dauber right before cementing, it is a required first step for dependable PVC pressure and drainage joints.
