            by|Jun 18, 2019

              A:  Yes, the NSF listed Clear Primer and Purple Primer are the same product...only difference is the colorant which is for identifiable purposes.

                A:  Yes is the simplest answer to avoid descending into the rabbit hole of types of material, temperatures, and nature and effects of the fluids to which the bond will be exposed. Those implied caveats said, in terms of properly preparing several different plastic pipe and fitting materials for solvent bonding, clear primer is essentially the same as the purple primer. It makes for a cleaner appearing join of fittings and pipe. However, most jurisdictions plumbing code requires the purple primer as a tag or indicator that the joint has been properly prepared for the bonding of the components in question. Check your building codes for the specific requirements regarding use of clear or purple primer where an inspection would be involved.

                  Clear PVC Primer 32 oz package. This product is in a convenient package with the “Brush in Can”. The 32 oz. cab goes a long way when doing small PVC piping jobs. The primer prepares the pipe for final adhesive and removes unwanted contaminants from the PVC. Some containments may prevent a good seal and cause leakage after the pipe sets. There is plenty of instructions and precautions to read while using this chemical. Read and adhere by them to prevent personal injuries. Always use proper PPE and in a well ventilated area. Eye protection is a must. The product works as described and does its intended job. Please dispose of all waste as described on the packaging. The clear finish keeps the project looking good after completion.

                  The clear primer needs to have a different label on the can from the glue, grabbed this by mistake. and thought I had glue.

                  Well worth it.
                  Difficult to find but well worth getting it. If inspection is not required, this is the one to use for a cleaner job because its clear. Purple one gets everywhere and makes a mess.
