Correct pipe cement? Hard to find!

[SoCalPoolFool]

Thanks, everyone! I found that Granger can get it in a day, so going with Weld-On 724 and its associated P70 primer. Pricey, and from what you all say sounds like overkill for pool use, but they're explicitly for caustic substances and work on CPVC as well as PVC, so I figure "do it right and do it once." Plus the heavier-body and slower-setting cement will allow me time to set the four joints I have to do at the same time (lowering the valve + elbow assemblies onto the pipes from the ground,) especially since I can't twist them on.

Did the 724 cement work out good for you? I have a new Jandy valve and CPVC nipple to glue to white pvc pipes and sweep 90's. Can't figure out what cement or primer to use on my pool with a heater. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Update?

If you click on OPs name, you'll see they haven't visited since April of 22. They likely aren't going to respond.

So I moved you to your own thread. Plus, that thread was 3+ years old. Hang tight for thoughts.

Any PVC glue is fine; just give it plenty of time to dry.

Christie's Red Hot Blue. Available at Home Depot. You'll be very happy with it.

It worked great! It's a bit of overkill for some situations but that's better than risking using the wrong stuff.
