Solvent Cements & Thread Sealants
Ray Lewis Company offers a complete selection of solvent cements, primers, and thread sealants designed to ensure strong, reliable, and leak-free joints in PVC, CPVC, and other piping systems. These essential products provide contractors, plumbers, and industrial professionals with the confidence that every connection is built to perform under demanding conditions.
Solvent cements—often called PVC or CPVC glues—chemically fuse the pipe and fitting together, creating a permanent bond that is as strong as the pipe itself. Available in multiple formulations, they are engineered for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC, CPVC hot-water applications, and specialty fittings. Ray Lewis also carries primers and cleaners that prepare pipe surfaces to meet ASTM standards and local code requirements, ensuring optimal adhesion and long-term reliability.
Thread sealants (including PTFE thread tape and liquid sealants) provide a secure seal for threaded pipe joints, preventing leaks in water, air, gas, and chemical piping systems. Unlike standard cements, these sealants are designed for threaded metal or plastic fittings, delivering resistance to vibration, pressure changes, and chemical exposure.
What sets Ray Lewis apart is our ability to pair the right adhesive or sealant to each specific application, supported by local stock for fast delivery and a knowledgeable customer service team ready to guide customers through product selection. Whether you’re working on a residential plumbing job, municipal water system, agricultural irrigation line, or industrial CPVC project, Ray Lewis has the solvent cements, primers, and sealants you need to ensure long-lasting, code-compliant performance.
