Oatey, 8-Ounce, Milky-Clear 30821 Cement

The Oatey 8-Ounce Milky-Clear 30821 Cement is a medium-bodied solvent designed to join plastic piping and fittings. It addresses the need for a versatile bonding agent that works across multiple pipe materials, making it a reliable option for home plumbing projects and repairs.

This cement works across all schedules and classes of ABS, PVC, and CPVC pipe and fittings up to 12 inches in diameter with an interference fit. It is formulated for diverse setups including potable drinking water lines, pressure pipes, electrical conduit, and drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. For compliance, the low-VOC formula meets SCAQMD Rule 1168/316A or BAAQMD Method 40, alongside ASTM D-2564, D-2235, and F-493 standards.

Temperature limits require attention during application, as it is recommended for use only between 40°F and 110°F (4°C to 43°C). The 8-ounce can provides a manageable amount for standard jobs, though larger installations might require extra containers, and the product listing does not provide specific cure times or included applicators.

Verdict: This solvent cement is an ideal choice for anyone installing or repairing ABS, PVC, or CPVC plumbing in standard working temperatures. It delivers certified performance for pressurized lines, drinking water, and drainage systems in a compact 8-ounce size.
