Default Clear PVC Primer & Glue?

Oatey seems to make a clear PVC Primer and Glue... I can't find it anywhere here (Edmonton)... Home Depot, Lowes, Rona, Home Hardware...........

Anyone know where I might find some?

Another brand would do also - I just want to try to do this new build without the purple drips & gray smears


Thanks!

In Calgary I've always bought it at Western Pump, the clear is used for spa flex so anywhere you get that should sell it.

You may find the clear doesn't last as long as the grey just an FYI. Grey will not come apart or leak I find.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Clear works just as good you have to use the primer first it softens the pipe for a better bond dont use it as a one step glue

The difference between medium and heavy bonded PVC cement is the ability to go up to 12" instead of only 6". Medium bonded is therefore perfect for our applications unless you're running pipe larger than 6", it will not leak or fail over time if done properly. Primer should always be used regardless of which glue you use.
