Griffon T-88 Fast-Curing Rigid PVC Pipe Solvent Cement (250ml)

Griffon T-88 Solvent Cement is a professional-grade, high-strength chemical welding adhesive engineered specifically for fusing rigid PVC pipes, coupling sockets, and interference-fit fittings. Operating as a fast-acting chemical fusion agent, this specialized liquid solvent temporarily dissolves the contact interfaces of the plastic, melting them together to form a single, seamless, homogenous weld upon curing. The 250ml container is ideal for larger project runs and extended site work. It comes highly recommended for commercial plumbers, pool installers, agricultural drainage contractors, and DIYers who require an absolute, high-pressure, watertight seal across domestic and industrial pressure or drainage systems.

Why Choose Griffon T-88 Solvent Cement?

• True Structural Chemical Weld: Unlike lower-grade glues that merely coat a surface, T-88 chemically breaks down the PVC walls inside the joint socket. Once assembled, the joint undergoes cross-linked fusion, becoming physically inseparable and structurally as strong as the pipe itself.

• Heavy-Duty PN16 Pressure Rating: Formulated and rigorously tested to withstand immense hydraulic stress loads. It safely handles operating pressures up to a maximum of 16 bar (PN 16), making it highly reliable for mains water networks, swimming pool filtration loops, and chemical transport.

• Tight-Tolerance Engineering: Optimized for precision engineering specifications with an absolute capacity to bridge maximal tolerances of 0.3 mm diametrical clearance and 0.2 mm press-fit interfaces, ensuring an airtight, leak-free seal.

• Integrated Precision Pipe Brush: This 250ml container is outfitted with a specialized, larger integrated application pipe brush attached directly to the underside of the screw-top lid. This enables quick, uniform, and clean distribution of the fluid across wider diameters while minimizing product waste and skin contact.

• Clean Colourless Finish: Cures to a completely transparent, colorless finish. This leaves a neat, professional appearance on visible pipework installations, avoiding the messy, colorful staining typical of tinted alternative glues.
