Pipe Fitting Solvent

A Pipe Fitting Solvent is a type of adhesive that is used to form an airtight seal between PVC pipe and connection fittings. Solvent cement can be used to join pieces of PVC pipe and fittings. For CPVC, solvent joining of standard socket weld fittings is the usual method of connecting the CPVC pipe fittings to the sprinkler pipe. These solvents are used for two things: to prepare the surface of the pipe and fitting and to dissolve CPVC resin. When the solvents are applied, the top layer of the pipe and fitting material softens and dissolves. Pipe Fitting Solvent is very effective.
