Solvent Cement PVC-U Type P Green 250 ml

Solvent cement forms a welded connection between a PVC pipe end and fitting socket. Its solvents soften and dissolve the prepared mating surfaces so they bond together during curing. Primer first cleans, degreases and softens the PVC to help the cement penetrate.

Green Type P cement and Iplex clear Type P cement are for pressure-pipe joints. The green formulation makes applied cement visible, while Iplex clear cement leaves no coloured cement line. Rapid Weld blue Type N cement is for non-pressure joints.

Christy's clear PVC cement provides a colourless finish for visible pipework. Christy's Red Hot Green is a separate fast-setting Type P formulation for pressure joints; a fast initial set still requires the specified curing period before pressure is applied.

Prepare and assemble each joint according to the selected cement and pipe-system instructions. Cure requirements vary with the formulation, pipe size and conditions.

✓ Christy's General Set & Cure Guidance
Typical initial set before careful handling at 60-100°F (approximately 16-38°C):
1/2" to 1 1/4" pipe: 2-3 minutes.
1 1/2" to 3" pipe: 5 minutes.
These are general manufacturer estimates, not pressure-ready times or pipe-size approval limits.
Cure before service: Use the Christy's Set & Cure Guide for the pipe size, temperature during assembly and curing, and operating pressure.
Cure-table baseline: Relative humidity 60% or less.
Damp or humid conditions: Allow 50% more cure time; initial set may also require up to 50% longer.
Colder conditions and larger pipe sizes require different intervals; refer to the full guide.
