Yessirs. Purple primer followed by clear pvc cement. I just realized that I have two types here. Been using the medium and it's fine. The 'regular' hasn't been opened yet. Wondering if one is better than the other

edittttt....One is meant for sch 40 pipe up to 6" and the other up to 4". I need to start looking at the directions.

Bigger pipe has more surface area in the joint, needing a slower cement, to get the joint together before it sets...

That's what I figured. I think I'm gonna go with the regular even on 3/4 pipe. Medium grade dries really fast even on small areas. Not much time to twist elbows into the perfect position before it locks up.

Here's something that I occassionally do to keep purple out of sight.
This is pointless, neat freak, psychotic etc.

As long as it's fairly low pressure I never mess with it. For plumbing on the house or a high pressure application I use the primer. I don't typically use it though. If the pipes are clean PVC cement is usually enough .

However, the primer will never hurt.
