Fast-Setting Contractor Grade PVC Cement.
Build reliable, high-pressure mainlines with the Blue Hot PVC Glue, a contractor favorite designed for demanding irrigation conditions. This medium-body, fast-setting PVC cement creates a permanent chemical weld between your PVC pipes and PVC fittings. Its highly visible blue color makes it easy to verify that a joint has been completely coated, which is crucial for passing municipal plumbing inspections and avoiding missed connections.
Formulated for quick pressurization, this cement minimizes system downtime, allowing you to turn the water back on faster than standard glues. It features a lower odor profile for more comfortable working conditions and is rated for use on PVC pipe up to 6 inches in diameter. Whether you are assembling a complex head assembly or laying long stretches of underground pipe, this fast-acting cement ensures a professional, leak-proof seal.
- Fast Setting Time: Formulated to set rapidly, allowing for quick system pressurization and minimizing repair downtime.
- Visible Blue Color: The distinct blue dye makes it easy for installers and inspectors to visually confirm that a joint has been properly glued.
- Medium Body Viscosity: Thick enough to fill small gaps in fittings, yet fluid enough to spread evenly over the pipe surface.
- High Capacity: Commercial-grade holding power, rated for PVC piping up to 6 inches in diameter.

Follow these steps to create a permanent, leak-proof chemical weld on your PVC connections:
Step 1: Prep the Pipe
Cut the PVC pipe square and remove any internal or external burrs. Wipe the pipe end and the inside of the fitting clean with a dry rag to remove dirt and moisture.
Step 2: Apply PVC Primer (Recommended)
For the strongest bond, apply a coat of purple or clear PVC primer to the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting. This softens the plastic in preparation for the glue.
Step 3: Apply the Blue Hot PVC Glue
Using the applicator brush in the cap, apply an even, liberal layer of glue to the outside of the pipe. Apply a thinner, even layer to the inside of the fitting socket.
Step 4: Join and Twist
Immediately push the pipe into the fitting while giving it a quarter-turn. This motion spreads the glue evenly and eliminates air pockets. Hold the pieces firmly together for 30 seconds to prevent the pipe from pushing out as the glue sets.
