Lanco Wet-Dry PVC Cement 32oz: For Pools, Cisterns & Wet Jobs
By Maintenance Depot Plumbing Team · Last reviewed
Quick answer
Lanco Wet-Dry PVC Cement (32oz) is a blue, fast-drying cement made for strong PVC joints in wet conditions. It suits SCH 40 and SCH 80 pressure systems, pools, Jacuzzis and cisterns, and is approved for potable water and DWV.
Not every pipe joint can be made in dry conditions. Trenches fill with water, cisterns drip and pool lines are rarely completely dry. Lanco Wet-Dry PVC Cement (32oz) is specially formulated to make strong joints where wet conditions exist.
