Short answer, yes. Long answer, it is not recommended and not up to code for residential plumbing in many jurisdictions.

ps. that glue isnt avaliable in australia so my statement stands. and 6 years of schooling on the subject tells me otherwise.
RECOMMENDED USES
The All Purpose Clear Heavy Duty Cement is specially formulated to solvent weld up to 6” (150 mm) diameter Sch. 40 aSch. 80 ABS, PVC and Sch. 40 CPVC
nd
pipe.

Seems to imply that this glue is specially forumlated for large diameter fittings.
Regardless of this whole discussion, when stating facts, please state them correctly. IE, 'green glue is for pressure rated PVC only' is only half true. Next time say, "green glue (of a certain brand), when bought in Australia is designed for pressure rated PVC".
And the same for when you say Heavy Duty cement isn't for large diameter pipe and fittings. When it clearly is in America and seems even Australia.
Just make sure you clarify your statements first, afterall the majority of the members are American.
that link you posted doesnt seem to say that the medium bodied glue is designed to fill in the gaps ,the american one does
upto 6" diameter 6" aint that big here is a pic of a 6" socket in a piece of 6" pipe. there aint much of a gap, infact there is next to no gap, no need for medium bodied glue ,altho american fittings may have a larger gap ,hence the need for medium bodied (gapp filling) glue, they simply dont sell gap filling glue in australia, maybe our fittings are desinged better?

on my 4inch fittings there is no gap either, infact i takes quite abit of force to get them together for a dryfit with no glue, its even a harder job to get them back out......
btw im in the us
