A NAME YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS... A NAME YOU CAN COUNT ON FOR YEARS TO COME!
OATEY

Since 1916, plumbing professionals have relied on Oatey Company to provide innovative and highly dependable plumbing and roofing products. Today, Oatey is a market leader in solvent cements, chemical specialties, laundry and utility boxes and other plumbing products.

In our ninth decade of business, we continue to grow. This is a testament to our customer's ongoing faith in our products and to the dedication of Oatey associates, who work each day to anticipate and exceed the needs and expectations for quality, services and more efficient and useful products.

As we prepare for the year 2000 and beyond, we intend to continue to focus on these basic and critical goals: To remain a world-class manufacturer and market leader in our products. To add more new products like Oatey/Casper's drains, the newest addition to our line. And to continue to improve our service and quality whenever and wherever possible.

Which is why we say Oatey is a name you have known for years--And that you can count on for years to come.

SERVICE
At Oatey, service means much more than answering phone calls. Our goal is to fill 100 percent of all orders--and to do it by your definition of on time.

To support that goal, Oatey has an international distribution system. We use state-of-the-art order processing and logistical systems. Our customer service associates are fully trained in our products and how to get them to you when you want them. And we offer a complete line of products in each category we serve.

Most importantly, you'll find we don't just believe that quality and service come first-we live by it.

QUALITY
Plumbers use many of our products every day without a second thought. That's exactly how we want things to be. Why? Because it means they know Oatey and trust our products to be reliable.

On the other hand, we think carefully about each of our products, no matter how simple it might appear to be. We explore how to design and engineer it better. We strive to make it easier to install and more functional and more durable. And we look for better ways to manufacture and inspect our products so that each one performs to your expectations and then some.

Our intense focus on quality is driven by this simple goal: that Oatey products be the ultimate in dependability.

RESEARCH
At Oatey, we believe in not letting well enough alone. If we had, we would never have invented the patented "NO-CALK"" flashing, now the best selling roof pipe-vent flashing in the world. What works well today may not be good enough tomorrow.
That's why we continue to make a significant ongoing investment in engineering, testing, research and development. Not only do we develop new products, but we also look at ways to improve existing products, even our bestsellers--To make them easier to use, longer lasting and less expensive.

SOLVENT CEMENT, PRIMERS AND CLEANERS
Oatey is the industry leader and complete source for all plastic pipe solvent cements, primers and cleaners.

All cements, primers and cleaners labels are color coded for fast and easy identification including our #1 seller PVC Heavy Duty Clear (green label), Rain-R-Shine~ (Sky Blue Label) and FlowGuard GoldTM I-Step CPVC (Yellow label).

Each batch is manufactured using the finest raw materials that must comply with Oatey's rigid quality specifications. They are tested for consistency, stability, AS TM lap shear strength, weight, lid torque and date code legibility. Samples are taken from every batch and retained for two years. Cans of Oatey cement in sizes 4 oz, through 32 oz. Have special dauber applicators for fast and easy installation (available in gallon cans - 2 7/8" and 1 ¾" openings).
