WHY PRIMER IS USED

In most cases a successful solvent cement joint can be made without using a primer/cleaner. But, if you want to increase probability of making a successful joint, using a primer/cleaner is the thing to do.

All Purpose Primer/Cleaner accomplishes two things. First, it will clean the pipe and fittings of any dirt, oil, grease and other foreign matter. If the plastic is dirty before making a connection it will be more difficult for the cement to bond the pipe and fitting together. Second, All Purpose Primer/Cleaner will soften the plastic. This allows the cement the opportunity of skipping a step (softening the plastic) and to go immediately to the process of fusing the pipe and fitting together. Note - softening the plastic in cold weather is especially important because it will noticeably speed up the process of making a solvent cement joint.

Using All Purpose Primer/Cleaner is always recommended to make a good connection. And remember, in most locations using a primer/cleaner is mandatory according to local codes.

WHY PURPLE?

Using a "clear" primer/cleaner makes it impossible for any inspector to determine whether a primer/cleaner has been used. Because of this the market place has called for a primer/cleaner that has a purple color. In this way an inspector can see the purple color on the pipe and fittings and can know for sure that a primer/cleaner has been used.
