32 fl oz Gray 1700 Series Heavy Duty Glue (Tech Only)
Product Overview
Pool techs across DFW stock UNI-WELD 1700 because it reliably handles high-pressure PVC joints on all schedules and classes of pipe.
This 32 fl. oz. container of Gray 1700 Series Heavy Duty Glue (#1736S) is a professional-grade solvent cement designed for large diameter piping and high-pressure applications. Formulated by Oatey under the UNI-WELD brand, it meets ASTM D2564 standards and carries NSF and UPC certifications for potable water and DWV systems. In our experience, the heavy-bodied consistency fills gaps in larger fittings better than medium-duty alternatives, ensuring a leak-proof bond on pool equipment pads.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Heavy-Bodied Formula
The thicker viscosity of this gray cement allows for better gap filling in larger diameter PVC pipes up to 12 inches, which is a proven choice for manifold builds.
ASTM D2564 Certified
This product meets the standard specification for solvent cements used for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) plastic piping systems, ensuring code compliance on every job.
Broad Compatibility
Rated for use on all schedules and classes of PVC pipe, including Schedule 40 and Schedule 80, providing a versatile solution for complex equipment installs.
Compatibility
- All schedules and classes of PVC pipe

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always rotate the pipe a quarter-turn when seating it into the fitting to ensure the #1736S cement is evenly distributed and eliminates potential air pockets that cause slow leaks.
Common Questions & Instructions
Can I use UNI-WELD 1700 on wet PVC pipes during a pool leak repair?
While this heavy-duty cement is robust, for the strongest bond per ASTM D2564, surfaces should be clean and dry; for active leaks or wet conditions, a specialized 'hot' glue is typically preferred by our technicians.
What is the shelf life of the 32 fl. oz. #1736S gray cement?
When stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, this solvent cement generally remains effective for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture (UPC 038675017368).
Is a primer required when using this heavy-duty gray glue on pool plumbing?
Yes, to ensure a permanent solvent weld that meets UPC and NSF standards, a professional-grade purple or clear primer should always be applied to the pipe and fitting before the cement.
