Weld-On Cement

Weld-On is a line of solvent cements, primers, and related materials used to prepare and join PVC piping and fittings. These solutions are commonly used in irrigation, plumbing, water distribution, and other applications where properly bonded PVC connections are needed.

Weld-On is commonly used as PVC glue, but its solvent cements are specifically formulated to chemically bond compatible PVC surfaces rather than simply acting as an adhesive. Different Weld-On formulations offer different characteristics, so the cement should be matched to the pipe material and application.

Choose a Weld-On cement based on the type and size of pipe, the fitting material, and the pressure or installation conditions of the application. Some formulations are designed for specific PVC materials, pipe sizes, or service conditions, so checking the manufacturer's specifications helps ensure the cement is compatible with the system. Sprinkler Warehouse offers Weld-On formulations for different PVC piping applications, making it easier to find an option suited to your project.

Primer is used to clean and prepare compatible PVC surfaces before applying solvent cement, helping the cement form a proper bond. Whether primer is required depends on the specific cement, pipe material, application, and applicable installation requirements. Follow the instructions for the Weld-On formulation being used to determine the proper preparation process.
