Solvent Cement

Solvent cement for PVC and CPVC is used to bond pipe with socket or "slip" end fittings. It comes in different bodies, colors, types, and can sizes. Generally, you want to use a PVC cement for connecting PVC parts and a CPVC cement for CPVC material. Unlike most adhesives and glues, solvent cement for PVC and CPVC actually softens the material allowing it to weld together. This creates extremely strong and durable connections that can handle everything from holding together PVC lawn chairs to providing leak-free joints in a pressurized liquid handling system.
