Default pvc pipe cement dilemma

OK, can anyone explain why Home Depot has like 7 different kinds of PVC
pipe cement, all made by the same company, without a good explanation
of what the differences are? TIA.


Seven? Did you count them all? The different cements are for the
different types of plastic pipe: PVC, CPVC, or ABS. There are also
primer/cleaners; and some cements are multipurpose. You have to use the
right cement for the type of plastic pipe you are using. Cement for ABS
does not hold well under pressure when used on PVC.
