How long before a repair can be pressure-tested?
Use the milestone for pressure testing, not a generic dry-to-touch time. The table below is built only from numeric times in manufacturer documents already recorded in our catalog.
Important: Shortest does not mean interchangeable. Product type, surface, conditions and intended use still have to match your project.
Manufacturer-stated times
| Product | Manufacturer-stated minimum | Condition/source |

| Oatey Oatey FlowGuard Gold CPVC Cement Yellow low-VOC | 2 hours | At manufacturer-stated conditions; temperature, humidity and film thickness can change drying time. |
| Oatey Oatey Green Transition Cement ABS-to-PVC non-pressure | 2 hours | At manufacturer-stated conditions; temperature, humidity and film thickness can change drying time. |

How to use this table
Open the exact product page to see the variant, source wording, stated conditions and other milestones. A minimum time is the earliest stated threshold under the manufacturer’s conditions—not a guarantee for colder, wetter, thicker or poorly ventilated applications.

- Confirm the exact formula and region on your container.
- Use the clock for your next action rather than touch-dry time.
- Check temperature, humidity, thickness and substrate notes.
- When the manufacturer provides no correction factor, wait longer and verify physical readiness.
