FAQs

What type of pipe does this boss adaptor connect?

This boss adaptor is specifically designed to connect 50mm nominal bore waste pipes into soil systems.

Do I need special tools to install this adaptor?

No, the push-fit design allows for installation without specialist tools. A rubber mallet or gentle pressure may be needed to fully seat the pipes.

Is this adaptor suitable for all types of drainage systems?

It is designed for use within PVCu ring seal soil and vent systems and is certified to BS4514 and EN1329 standards, making it suitable for most residential and commercial drainage applications.

How can I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure both pipe ends are clean and properly inserted into the adaptor socket. Lubrication with a silicone-based product or mild soapy water can aid insertion and help achieve a secure seal.

What is the purpose of the black color?

The black finish is primarily for aesthetic discretion, allowing the adaptor to blend in with surrounding pipes in visible installations.

Can I use solvent cement with this adaptor?

No, this is a push-fit adaptor designed for use without solvent welding. The connection relies on the integrity of the rubber seal and the push-fit mechanism.

What maintenance is required for this adaptor?

The PVCu construction is very low maintenance. Regular checks for visible damage or leaks are recommended, but beyond that, it typically requires no specific upkeep.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting the 50mm waste pipe.

Ensure the pipe end is clean and cut squarely. Apply silicone lubricant or mild soapy water to the spigot and socket for smoother insertion. Check for any obstructions within the socket.

Leak detected at the connection point.

Verify that the pipe is fully seated within the adaptor's socket. Inspect the rubber seal for damage or debris. If the pipe was not fully inserted, disconnect and re-seat it properly. For persistent leaks, consider replacing the seal or the component if damaged.

adaptor feels loose after installation.

Ensure the adaptor is properly connected to the main soil pipe. For push-fit connections, confirm it's fully engaged. If it is connected to the soil pipe but the 50mm pipe connection seems loose, re-seat the 50mm pipe, ensuring it's pushed in as far as it will go.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of both the soil pipe and the 50mm waste pipe are clean, free from debris, and cut squarely.
  2. Lightly lubricate the push-fit sockets and the spigot ends of the pipes with a silicone-based lubricant or mild soapy water for easier insertion.
  3. Firmly push the 50mm waste pipe into the BOSS adaptor's socket until it is fully seated.
