Product Information

Full details

The Wavin OsmaSoil Soil System pipe is designed for efficient sanitary waste removal. Ideal for plumbers and builders, its key benefit is a comprehensive and reliable PVC-U drainage solution. A potential consideration is the need for specific jointing methods (push-fit or solvent weld). This system offers a wide array of pipes and fittings, including brackets, bends, junctions, and access points, all manufactured with Kitemark certification to BS EN 1453-1:2000, and incorporates Recycore® Technology for significant recycled content without compromising performance.

FAQs

What is the primary use of the Wavin OsmaSoil system?

The Wavin OsmaSoil system is primarily used for the removal of sanitary waste from toilets, sinks, and other appliances, as well as for ventilation purposes within a building's drainage network.

What does Kitemark certified mean for this product?

Kitemark certification to BS EN 1453-1:2000 indicates that the product has been independently tested and certified to meet rigorous British and European standards for quality, safety, and performance in soil and drainpipe systems.

How does Recycore® Technology benefit the environment?

Recycore® Technology utilizes a high percentage of recycled PVC-U material in the pipe's construction, reducing the demand for virgin resources and lowering the product's overall environmental footprint, without compromising its performance.

Can I mix Wavin OsmaSoil pipes with other brands?

While the system is designed for optimal performance with other Wavin Osma components, it is possible to connect to other systems using appropriate adaptors. Always ensure a secure and compliant connection.

What is the difference between push-fit and solvent weld joints?

Push-fit joints use a rubber ring seal within the socket for a quick, tool-free connection. Solvent weld joints require a specific PVC solvent cement to create a permanent, fused bond between the pipe spigot and fitting socket.

How should the pipes be supported during installation?

Pipes should be supported using appropriate pipe clips or brackets at recommended intervals (refer to Wavin installation guides) to prevent sagging and ensure the integrity of the joints. The spacing will depend on the pipe size and whether it is installed vertically or horizontally.

Is this pipe suitable for underground use?

The Wavin OsmaSoil system, particularly the 110mm variant, is suitable for underground drainage applications when installed correctly according to manufacturer guidelines, including proper bedding and support.

Troubleshooting

Push-fit joint leaking

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the socket and that the ring seal is correctly seated and undamaged. Re-lubricate and re-insert if necessary. Check for any debris within the socket.

Solvent weld joint fails to bond

Verify that the correct solvent cement for PVC-U was used and applied correctly to both surfaces. Ensure sufficient solvent was used and the joint was held firmly during the initial set time. Re-cut pipe and re-joint if necessary.

Pipe is difficult to cut cleanly

Use a sharp PVC pipe cutter or a fine-toothed saw specifically designed for plastic. Ensure a clean, square cut for proper joint fitting. Deburr and chamfer the cut end as per installation instructions.

System appears blocked

Check for obvious obstructions at accessible points like access fittings. Use appropriate drain clearing tools cautiously. Ensure the system has adequate fall (gradient) to promote flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability and long service life due to PVC-U material.
  • Environmentally conscious design with significant recycled content via Recycore® Technology.
  • Certified quality assurance with Kitemark to BS EN 1453-1:2000.
  • Wide selection of fittings supports complex plumbing layouts.
  • Choice of jointing methods (push-fit or solvent weld) increases installation flexibility.

Cons

  • Requires appropriate tools and knowledge for solvent weld jointing.
  • Older plumbing systems may require specific adaptors for compatibility.
  • UV exposure over extended periods could potentially affect material properties if not properly protected (though less common for soil pipes).
  • Specific gravity of PVC-U means it can be heavier than some alternative materials, requiring adequate support during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure pipe ends and fittings are clean, dry, and free from damage. For solvent weld joints, chamfer the spigot end slightly.
  2. Jointing (Push-Fit): Apply a small amount of approved silicone lubricant to the spigot end and the inside of the socket ring seal. Push the spigot firmly and squarely into the socket until it reaches the depth mark.
  3. Jointing (Solvent Weld): Apply solvent cement evenly to both the spigot and the inside of the socket. Immediately push the spigot into the socket with a quarter-turn twist to spread the cement. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement while the joint sets.
  4. Support: Ensure pipes are adequately supported using appropriate Wavin brackets or pipe clips at recommended intervals to prevent sagging and stress on joints.

Compatibility:

  • The Wavin OsmaSoil system is designed to connect with other Wavin Osma Soil and Waste components.
  • Ensure compatibility when connecting to existing drainage systems or other manufacturers' products; use appropriate adaptors where necessary.
  • This 110mm system is suitable for standard soil and waste applications. Verify specific project requirements.

Care:

  • During installation, protect pipes from excessive dirt and debris.
  • Avoid contact with harsh solvents not intended for PVC-U joining.
  • Regular inspection of visible joints for leaks is recommended as part of routine building maintenance.
  • Clean the exterior of the pipes with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
