Medium Body PVC Primer - Purple (1 Gal)

Ensure your plumbing installations pass inspection every time with E-Z Weld GLGAL-PPR 411 Medium Body Purple PVC Primer. This high-performance primer is an essential first step for a reliable, code-compliant solvent weld on all schedules and classes of PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. The distinctive purple color provides visual proof that the primer has been applied, which is often a mandatory requirement by plumbing inspectors and building safety codes.

This primer works by aggressively cleaning, penetrating, and pre-softening the pipe's outer layer. This action allows the subsequent solvent cement to penetrate deeper, creating a strong, fused joint that is reliable and leak-proof. The 1-gallon size is perfect for commercial jobs, extensive residential projects, DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent), and pressure pipe applications, including those involving potable water systems.
