If a client does not want purple primer visible on PVC joints, what should you explain?

Explanation:
Priming PVC joints is about preparing the surface for a strong bond, not about looks. The purple primer cleans and slightly softens the PVC so the cement can fuse the pieces together, which helps prevent leaks. In many places, including Texas, this step is required by code (TCEQ) to ensure joints seal reliably. The visible purple color also makes it easy for inspectors to verify primer was used. So if a client doesn’t want primer visible, explain that it’s a code-mrequired, reliability-focused step, not decorative, and it’s specifically for PVC (not used on metal pipes).
