Red Hot Blue Glue
Red Hot Blue Glue® is a very
aggressive, blue, medium bodied, fast setting PVC solvent cement.
It is chemically the “hottest” solvent cement formulation available
on the market today.
It is designed
to be used on all schedules and classes of PVC pipe through 6",
schedule 80 through 4". Red Hot is ideal for both quick
pressurization and demanding conditions. Red Hot is our best
solvent for all PVC applications through 6", including wet or cold
condition applications.
- Bonds
flexible PVC pipe to coupling in BIOFALLS Filter &
Skimmers.
- Designed for
flexible & ridgid PVC pipe.
- Red Hot
does
not require the use of a purple primer, unless
specified by local code
- Excellent for
wet or damp conditions
- Very fast
setting
- Can be used
"as is" through 6" diameter piping, unless local code requires a
primer
- Blue in color
to show you quantity applied
- Has excellent
"gap-filling" capability
- The preferred
solvent cement of many professionals
- Suitable for
potable water, DWV, sewer, conduit, sprinkler, pool, spa and PVC
flex-vinyl applications.

COLD WEATHER
SOLVENT CEMENTING
Joining PVC Plastic Pipe In Cold Weather
Working in
freezing termperatures is difficult, if unavoidable. Red Hot Blue
Glue® is the finest available for extreme conditions. Red Hot Blue
Glue® has EXCELLENT COLD WEATHER STABILITY for virtually all
practical applications.
GOOD JOINTS CAN BE MADE WITH RED HOT BLUE GLUE® AT BELOW
FREEZING
By following
our standard instructions and using a little extra care and
patience, successful solvent cemented joints can be made at
tempertatures even as low as 10° F. In cold weather, solvents
penetrate and soften the plastic surfaces more slowly than in warm
weather. Also, the plastic is more resistant to solvent
attack.
Therefore, it
becomes even more important to presoften surfaces with Purple
Primer. Longer cure times are also necessary. The cure schedules
printed in our technical brochure allow a wide margin for safety,
but for colder weather, more time should be allowed.
KEYS TO COLD WEATHER SOLVENT CEMENTING
- Prefabricate
as much of the system as is possible in a heated and ventilated
work area.
- Store cements
and primers in a warm area when not in use and make sure they
remain fluid. Store fittings in a warmer area if possible as
well.
- Take special
care to remove dirt, moisture including ice and snow from the
surfaces to be joined.
- Use primer to
soften the joining surfaces before applying cement. More than one
application may be necessary. Aggressively “Scrub” primer into pipe
surface until milky.
- Be sure to
apply solvent cement “ male-female-male” sequentially-per
directions on can.
- Wipe-off
excess cement and solvent bead.
- Allow a
longer cure period before the system is used.
- Read and
follow all of our directions carefully before
installation.
THE WORSE THE CONDITIONS, THE MORE IMPORTANT
IT IS TO HAVE QUALITY INSTALLATION!!
