FAQs
What is the purpose of the 87.5-degree angle?
The 87.5-degree angle is specifically chosen to provide an optimal downward slope (fall) for sanitary waste, helping to ensure efficient flow and prevent blockages in drainage systems.
Can this fitting be used with solvent weld systems?
No, this fitting features a push-fit ring seal system and is not designed for solvent weld application. Use only compatible push-fit pipes and adaptors.
What is the function of the keyway for the boss socket?
The keyway ensures that when a boss socket adaptor is installed, it is positioned correctly to maintain the designed fall of the main pipe, preventing flow issues.
Is this fitting suitable for underground drainage?
While made of durable PVC-U, this fitting is specifically designed for above-ground sanitary waste removal. For underground applications, consult relevant drainage standards and products.
What standards does this product meet?
The Wavin OsmaSoil 110mm fitting is Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000, which relates to pipes and fittings made of rigid PVC-U for soil, waste, and drain systems.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
A watertight seal is achieved by properly lubricating the pipe end and socket, then fully inserting the pipe into the socket until it reaches the internal stop. Ensure the ring seal remains correctly seated during insertion.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the socket and the ring seal is correctly seated. Check for damage to the seal or pipe end. Re-lubricate and re-insert.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Ensure the pipe end and socket are clean and free of obstructions. Apply more appropriate silicone lubricant. Do not force the joint; check for misalignments.
Inadequate fall or slow drainage
Verify that all fittings used in the run have the correct angle and that the overall system gradient is sufficient. Ensure the boss socket adaptor (if used) is correctly positioned to maintain the primary fall.
Pros and Cons

Compliant with relevant British and European standards (Kitemarked)
Watertight joints reduce the risk of leaks
Cons
Specific angle (87.5 degrees) may require planning for existing pipework
Requires a compatible boss socket adaptor for secondary connections
Primarily designed for sanitary waste; suitability for other fluids should be verified
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean, dry, and free from debris. Check for any damage.
Lubrication: Apply a silicone-based lubricant (specifically designed for push-fit soil systems) to the plain end of the pipe and the inside of the ring seal socket.
Jointing: Insert the plain end of the pipe fully into the ring seal socket until it meets the internal stop. Ensure the fitting is aligned correctly.
Boss Socket: If using a boss socket adaptor, ensure it is correctly oriented within the keyway slot before pushing it into the socket.
Compatibility:
This fitting is designed for use with other 110mm PVC-U soil and waste pipes and fittings conforming to BS EN 1329-1.
It is suitable for use with standard boss socket adaptors designed for 110mm systems.
Ensure the system is designed to handle sanitary waste and complies with relevant building regulations.
Care:
OsmaSoil fittings are maintenance-free.
Regularly check the system for any visible signs of damage or leakage.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the PVC-U and the seals. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
