    Can you use oatey medium orange cpvc cement without using a primer
    I used oatey medium orange cpvc cement without primer, will that have any effects on my work? When I bought it, it told it was not necessary to use the primer, so I did not.

    Oatey tech sheet for medium orange says " clean with listed primer". Maybe you'll luck out.

    Its affect and you best hope you are lucky. Is this a drain or a supply pipe?

    Step 4 on the directions "4. Clean pipe and fitting with a listed primer."

    If you use Primer, your connection becomes "welded." Welded joint holds lot more pressure than non-primed joint.
