Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use to clean up purple primer?

Unfortunately once purple primer comes into contact with any material, the affect is permanent.

How do I remove Tamper Proof Lids off Cleaner and Primer cans?

We have posted a direction sheet for this process on our website in the technical bulletin and FAQ sections.

What should I do if there is a taste and odor in the CPVC water lines shortly after installation, how can I solve these issues?

Oatey cements and primers have outside lab approval for lines that carry drinking water (NSF). The plumbing system carrying the water should be drained by first shutting the water off at the water meter, which is most commonly found in the basement on the front wall facing the street. If you have a home on slab, it should be in the mechanical room with the furnace and water heater. Open all faucet valves and allow the interior piping system to air dry overnight.  This will allow most of the remaining vapors from the cement and primer to dissipate and escape, air movement is a huge plus.
