Un-Purple Primer for PVC

[globe trekker]

I DID zoom in to look for the fitting in question, but I still do not see it.

It may be there, I just cannot tell!

Why can't plumbers NOT spill it ?

= = =

I can't get near the "make-up" without gett'in in on me. It is difficult to work with without splattering, dripping, and sometimes spilling. This fact in no way relieves the requirement for its application.

I agree that using the [ purple ] primer IS difficult and sometimes

a PITA, however, I have seen some plumbers apply it like artwork,

...not a drop spilled anywhere.......Some painters also have had

problems applying their paints & stains, ...some have used drop

clothes & visqueen to catch any spills, splatters & drips.

RANT:I wonder why some plumbers don't also use something to

catch their splatters, spills & drips [ i.e. - drop cloths, ...rags,

...visqueen, ...other ], rather than complaining about the

[ code ] requirement.

I see this blue solvent craze coming this way; it must be cheaper; and I've looked for UV flashlights and cannot find on anywhere. I even tried to find the UV flashlight at Academy used for exposing scorpions; and can't find one. Is there a risk of blinding someone with these UV flashlights; that retailers are taking them off the shelfs? Anyone know where to find them?

Thanks,

Unce Bob

follow manufacture directions??

WHEN USING UNPURPLE PRIMER, THE INSTALLER MUST

HAVE A UV FLASHLIGHT OR OTHER UV LIGHT AVAILABLE

FOR THE INSPECTOR.

Nice thread to resurrect there UB! LOL

It might be a joke to you; but it's important to me. I'm learning a lot about UV lights; especially UV flashlights. There are some real concerns and possible dangers to skin and especailly to eyes. So before you buy one of these flashlights you would be well advised to do good homework on the different UV level available. There are also saftey glasses that shoud be worn.

CDA, thankfor the links they were very helpful.

How about a nice basic one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Inspection-Flashlight-380-385nm-Ultraviolet/dp/B0013E3XVU? The price is certainly right and the light is provided by LEDs every life should be great.

 

[Uncle Bob]

Well, evidently I had it all wrong. The ultra-violet light is to detect un-purple primer; and not purple primer
below blue solvent. Sorry fellas, this one reason I'm retiring. Too slow nowdays to keep up with all the new "stuff".

Thanks for your patience,

Not a joke to me at all. Just remember, I'm the one that started this thread to begin with. You resurrected one of my threads. If a contractor uses this stuff then they are responsible for providing a flashlight so we can inspect is, otherwise it fails and we come back when they have what they need.

Go ahead and get the uv

Take it to a purple job and shine it on the joint and than tell him he failed

Because the Uv shows not enough purple stuff and it is deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate.

Anyone question along the way the type of water closet going into that back to back ?
