Do I need special glue for this fitting?
Yes, for the solvent weld socket connection, you will need to use ABS solvent cement specifically designed for solvent weld systems.
What are the dimensions of this reducer?
It reduces a 40mm waste pipe to connect to a 50mm solvent weld socket.
Is this product certified?
Yes, it is certified to BS EN 1455-1 standards.
What colours are available?

Troubleshooting
Leak at the push-fit connection
Ensure the 40mm pipe is fully inserted into the socket and the pipe end is clean and free from debris. Check the pipe for any damage or imperfections.
Leak at the solvent weld connection
Verify that ABS solvent cement was used correctly, applied to both surfaces, and that the joint was held for the recommended time during curing. Ensure the 50mm socket and 40mm pipe end were clean and dry before application.
Difficulty inserting the 40mm pipe
Check for any obstructions or damage inside the socket or on the pipe. Ensure the pipe is not deformed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure both the 40mm pipe end and the 50mm socket are clean and dry.
- For the plain end, simply push the 40mm pipe fully into the socket until it stops.
- For the solvent weld socket, apply ABS solvent cement evenly to the outside of the 40mm pipe spigot and the inside of the 50mm socket.
- Immediately insert the pipe into the socket with a slight twisting motion (about a quarter turn) and hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-out.
- Allow the joint to cure for the time recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before running water through the system.
Compatibility:
- This reducer is designed for use with ABS solvent weld waste systems.
- It connects a 40mm plain-ended pipe to a 50mm solvent weld socket.
- Suitable for domestic waste water applications where temperatures do not exceed 60°C continuously or 90°C intermittently.
Care:
