Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection points.

Ensure the solvent weld is applied correctly and has fully cured. Check for any cracks in the pipes or fittings. Tighten or reseal the joint if necessary.

The reducer does not fit properly.

Verify that you are using the correct size of pipe and fittings. The reducer is designed for 43mm solvent weld fittings; ensure your fitting is the correct type.

Solvent weld adhesive is not adhering.

Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before applying solvent weld. Use fresh solvent weld adhesive and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a reliable and secure connection, minimizing the risk of leaks.
  • Made from durable PVCu material ensuring longevity.
  • Easy to install with solvent weld for a quick and effective connection.
  • Compact design, suitable for installations with limited space.

Cons

  • Requires solvent weld adhesive, which is not included.
  • Specifically designed for 43mm solvent weld waste pipe systems, may not be compatible with other systems.
  • Requires accurate measurements and alignment during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure you have the reducer, the 43mm solvent weld fitting (such as a coupling or elbow), the 21.5mm overflow pipe, and solvent cement.
  2. Compatibility: This reducer is designed for use with 43mm solvent weld waste pipes and 21.5mm pipes. Double-check the diameter of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility. If your pipe measures 40mm in diameter, it's likely a push-fit system and not suitable.
  3. Installation:
  • Apply solvent cement to the inside of the 43mm fitting and the outside of the reducer.
  • Insert the reducer into the fitting, ensuring a snug fit. Wipe away any excess solvent cement.
  • Apply solvent cement to the inside of the reducer and the outside of the 21.5mm pipe.
  • Insert the 21.5mm pipe into the reducer.
  • Allow the solvent cement to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the system.
  1. Care: Regularly inspect the joints for leaks. Clean the pipes as needed, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the PVCu.
