PVC Glue
 
Is there anything wrong with using the grey pvc cement as opposed to the clear glue?

Thanks

You can get the clear cleaner as well.

From what I've encountered, grey is a medium body cement (not always true according to google), and clear is a light body cement.

Interesting thing though, when going and looking on the shelf here @ work, all the grey cement we have is single stage for schedule 40 or 80 fittings and not for pressure (ie sewer fittings). All the clear is 2-stage (primer/cement) recommended for schedule 20 or 40 fittings.

Now I'm curious and will inquire to one of our suppliers.

There is a write up on oateys website...

There are all kinds of cements :)
Higher temp rating/pipe diameter is the biggest difference for the pvc cements. You'll be fine :)
up to 2 inch, with any pvc cement..aside from say the orange (cpvc) or the abs transition gunk.
