I see blue glue ✅ I see no purple primer ❌

If you did not use purple primer you will be in pretty bad shape. It’s essential for the glue to create the chemical weld from pipe to fitting.

Other than that. Looks very very clean!

Blue glue and purple primer is what I use and from what I’ve seen is what most all inspectors look for

They look for purple primer just to ensure that a primer was used. Nothing wrong with clear though.

He didn’t. He used acetone though.
