and NEBO SLIM Mini UV A Game-Changing Duo for Plumbing Professionals
In the world of plumbing, precision and reliability are paramount. That’s why McAlpine’s new SolvPro Solvent Cement is already creating a buzz among trade professionals. Designed for strong, durable bonding of PVC-U pipework, this high-performance adhesive offers a new level of efficiency on site. But what truly sets it apart is its clever partnership with the NEBO SLIM Mini UV Rechargeable Pocket Light-a compact, dual-function LED and UV torch that brings a new level of accuracy to every installation. Together, these two tools form a smart, practical solution to a common plumbing challenge: ensuring complete and visible application of solvent cement in low-light or awkward spaces.
Precision you can trust and see
One of the standout features of SolvPro is its UV-reactive formula. When applied, the cement appears clear-allowing for a neat, professional finish without the mess. But under UV light, it becomes visible, giving plumbers the ability to instantly verify whether a pipe joint has been properly coated. This is where the NEBO SLIM Mini UV comes into its own. Small enough to fit in your pocket, yet powerful enough to light up any workspace, the SLIM Mini UV combines a bright LED torch with a built-in UV light. Plumbers can use the LED mode to illuminate dark areas during installation, then switch to UV mode to inspect joints and confirm full, even coverage of the cement. It’s quick, easy and removes the guesswork from a critical part of the job.
A trusted name in lighting and power NEBO is already a trusted brand among trade professionals, well known for producing high-quality lighting and power solutions that stand up to the demands of tough working environments. From headlamps and work lights to pocket torches and site lights, NEBO tools are engineered for performance, durability and practicality. The brand also offers a growing range of power products, including reliable power banks and portable power stations-making it a go-to name for tradespeople who need dependable tools that work as hard as they do.
Why this partnership matters In plumbing, time is valuable and errors can be costly. For years, plumbers applying clear solvent cement had to rely on experience and intuition to judge whether a joint had been fully sealed. If a bond later failed due to incomplete coverage, it could mean water damage, call-backs and reputational damage. By combining SolvPro Solvent Cement with the NEBO SLIM Mini UV, McAlpine is providing a ready-to-use, inspection-friendly system that gives plumbers greater confidence in their work. It’s a simple yet effective innovation that helps reduce errors, save time and improve overall installation quality. “The synergy between McAlpine’s SolvPro Solvent Cement and the NEBO SLIM Mini UV torch is a perfect reflection of our core values: innovation, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to the trade. SolvPro isn’t just the best solvent cement it can be, it’s a game- changing adhesive that brings clarity, strength, and confidence to every installation. Its UV-reactive formula allows for precise application checks, while the NEBO SLIM Mini UV, with its dual light modes and rugged, pocket-sized design, complements it perfectly by enabling instant, visible quality control. Both products are built to withstand the demands of real trade environments, and together they empower professionals to work smarter,
reduce errors, and uphold the high standards

that define our industry. This partnership is about more than just products—it’s about delivering dependable solutions that make life easier for those on the tools.” Dale Hollins, Regional Sales Manager, McAlpine
