    Jong66... could use just plain old sandpaper and then use a purple pvc/cpvc primer and a cpvc cement.

    Hercules and weld-on make acceptable pvc/cpvc primers... but will need to use approved cpvc cement to weld cpvc fitting together... ok?

    Check out these links:

    Plastic Pipe Cements

    Scroll to the cpvc sections... especially the last link.

    Let us know if need more information... Mark
