The Polypipe WS51B Solvent Weld ABS Pipe is designed for homeowners and plumbers seeking a durable and reliable solution for residential waste water drainage. Its key benefit is the secure, permanent connections achieved through solvent welding, minimizing leak points. A potential caveat is the requirement for specific solvent cement for installation, which is not always included. This 50mm diameter, 3-meter black ABS pipe offers robust performance for sanitaryware and kitchen appliance waste, integrating seamlessly with Polypipe's Waste Systems range.

This pipe is designed for solvent weld jointing. You will need to use Polypipe ABS Primer and ABS Solvent Weld Cement to create secure, permanent joints with compatible fittings.
This pipe is designed for cold waste water applications. While ABS can tolerate higher temperatures than PVC, it is not rated for continuous hot water supply lines.
ABS pipe is generally more impact-resistant and performs better at lower temperatures than standard PVC. It also often has a slightly higher temperature tolerance for waste water. Both require specific primers and cements for solvent welding.
This specific product is 3 meters in length.
This 50mm ABS pipe is designed to connect with other Polypipe Solvent Weld ABS fittings and accessories within the Waste Systems range.
Yes, you can paint the pipe using a plastic-compatible paint if a different color is desired for aesthetic purposes, especially if it is visible.
The diameter of this pipe is 50mm.
Ensure surfaces were properly cleaned and primed before applying solvent cement. Verify that the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting and held until set. Check that the correct solvent weld cement and primer for ABS were used.
Use a fine-toothed saw or a dedicated pipe cutter for clean, square cuts. Ensure the cutting blade is sharp.
This pipe is designed for waste water and concealed or domestic environments. Prolonged exposure to direct UV light can cause discoloration. If used in a visible location, consider painting with a suitable plastic-compatible paint or ensuring it is protected from sunlight.
Setup:
Installation requires Polypipe Solvent Weld ABS Cement and Primer (sold separately). Ensure the ends of the pipe and the inside of the fitting are clean and free from dust. Apply primer to both surfaces, followed by a generous coat of ABS cement to both surfaces. Immediately push the pipe fully into the fitting with a slight twisting motion and hold for 30 seconds to prevent 'bell push-out'. Wipe away excess cement. Allow adequate time for the joint to set before testing or stressing the system. Refer to the solvent weld cement manufacturer's instructions for specific setting and curing times.
Compatibility:
This 50mm ABS pipe is part of the Polypipe Waste Systems range and is designed to connect with other Polypipe Solvent Weld ABS fittings and accessories. It is compatible with standard Polypipe traps and overflow solutions. While it is generally suitable for all domestic waste water, always ensure compatibility with any non-Polypipe components used in your installation.
Care:
Clean the exterior of the pipe with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish or material. Ensure the system is flushed regularly to prevent blockages within the pipework.
