FAQ

Why are the quantities in pints and quarts?

Weld-on primer and solvent cement are manufactured in the USA and use imperial measurements for their products. Fusion stocks Weld-On primer (P-70) and Solvent Cement (UPVC 711 and UPVC / CPVC 724) in pints (473ml) and quarts (946ml).

Where can I find datasheets for Weld-On Primer and Solvent Cement?

They are available directly from the manufacturer. Here are direct links:

Why should I choose Weld-On 711 or 724 solvent cement instead of cheaper PVC cement from hardware stores?

Weld-On 711 (PVC) and 724 (CPVC) are industrial-grade solvent cements designed for high-performance, high-reliability applications. They offer stronger bonding, superior gap-filling, and proven long-term performance under pressure and temperature extremes. Both meet stringent international standards (ASTM, NSF, UPC, IAPMO) and are GreenGuard Gold certified for low VOCs. Weld-On 724 also provides exceptional chemical resistance, making it ideal for aggressive industrial environments.

Cheaper cements, like typical hardware store options, may be fine for light-duty or residential work but generally lack the certifications, chemical resistance, and industrial durability required for demanding projects.

How long should I let a join set and cure before using the pipeline?

The answer depends on a few factors including the installation temperature, humidity, line pressure and join size. For your specific scenario, please check out the Weld-On Solvent Cement Average Initial Set and Cure Times Document.
