Cold-N-Hot PVC Joining
PVC-27 is specially formulated for installation in weather conditions ranging from -15°F to 110°F, providing a versatile solvent-cement option for compatible PVC piping projects that may be completed during significantly different seasonal and jobsite temperatures.
The medium-bodied consistency and very fast relative set support properly prepared interference-fit connections through 6" diameter, while compatible Schedule 80 PVC applications are supported through 4" when installed according to Spears® joining requirements.
Compatible PVC Applications
PVC-27 is designed for compatible industrial piping, plumbing, irrigation, pool & spa, electrical conduit, and PVC foam-core pipe, providing a specialized clear solvent cement for a broad variety of PVC installation, maintenance, and repair applications.
Always confirm the PVC material, pipe schedule, nominal size, fitting configuration, operating conditions, jobsite temperature, and applicable Spears® joining requirements before selecting PVC-27 and completing the solvent-cement connection.
Primerless Non-Pressure Use
PVC-27 can be used without a separate primer on qualifying non-pressure PVC piping systems where local code permits, providing a simplified joining option when the specific piping system and installation meet the applicable manufacturer and code requirements.
Applications requiring primer should follow the complete specified preparation and joining procedure, including proper surface preparation, cement application, joint assembly, set time, and cure time before the completed piping system is tested or placed into service.
Clear Cement & Product Handling
The clear formulation helps provide a clean and less noticeable finished appearance around properly assembled PVC connections while retaining the Cold-N-Hot characteristics required for installations across the product's specified weather range.
The container should remain tightly sealed between uses because solvent evaporation can cause the cement to thicken and reduce its usefulness, and cement that has become excessively thickened or gelled should not be altered with thinner for continued use.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Check the cement before use.
- Keep the container tightly sealed.
- Confirm pipe size and schedule compatibility.
- Verify the installation temperature is within the specified range.
- Follow Spears® joining and cure requirements before placing the system in service.
Review the supplied Spears® documents for additional PVC-27 specifications, cold and hot weather application guidance, size limitations, primerless-use requirements, product handling information, and solvent-cement joining instructions before use.
