CPVC Glue Dry Time

What is the minimum dry time for orange CPVC glue on cpvc fittings?
Using purple primer and pipe is 3/4 inch cpvc.

(First word in title should be CPVC)

At normal house temperatures you could get away with 15+ min but I would give it two hours if you can before turning the water back on. If this is in a cold space allow more time.

It depends, I usually buy the all purpose glue which dries like PD stated but unless I'm mistaken the CPVC only glue takes a lot longer before it can be put in use. It always states on the can how long before you can put pressure on the line.
