uPVC cement?

[Devaji]

i have my plumbing figured out. next step is what cement to use gluing PVC to Upvc? ( hacking up red sea reefer plumbing )

not much info out there from what I have found.

think this all purpose oatey will work? says its for PVC, CPVC & ABS ( I know ABS often requires special cement ) but nothing about uPVC from my very limited understanding uPVC is a more pure PVC

anyway here is the link:

I will be onlying be gluing a few joints so it would be nice to be able to use all the same stuff, however if there is a a cement just for the uPVC and it needed i'll get it.

thoughts?

I didn't bother with a special uPVC to PVC or even ABS to PVC, just plain old PVC Cement. Has worked for me for years now. Just my experience with it.

Any PVC cement should work fine with PVC and/or uPVC (cPVC is where it gets more complicated). I am partial to Weld-On 780 myself, but as I said, anything from the local hardware store will do.
