Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Push Fit Waste Pipe is an ideal solution for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, easy-to-install wastewater drainage system. Crafted from durable polypropylene, this 50mm diameter pipe streamlines installation by eliminating the need for complex solvent welding, making it perfect for efficient residential and commercial drainage projects. While it offers superior ease of use, it is important to remember that all cut ends must be properly deburred and account for thermal expansion to maintain a leak-free system.

FAQs

Can I use this pipe for hot water drainage?

Yes, it is designed for continuous operation up to 76°C and can handle intermittent flows up to 100°C.

Do I need to glue these pipes?

No, this is a push-fit system. Glue or solvent welding is not required and should not be used on the push-fit joints.

What is the diameter of this pipe?

This pipe has a 50mm external diameter.

How do I cut the pipe correctly?

Use a fine-tooth saw to achieve a square cut, and always use a file or deburring tool to smooth the edges before fitting.

Can I connect this to solvent weld pipes?

You would generally need a specific transition fitting if you are switching between push-fit and solvent weld systems.

What is the expansion allowance needed?

It is recommended to pull the pipe back approximately 10mm from the fully pushed-in position to allow for material movement due to temperature changes.

Troubleshooting

Pipe is difficult to push into the fitting

Ensure the pipe end is square and free of burrs. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pipe end or check if the internal seal is correctly seated.

Joint is leaking

Check that the pipe was inserted far enough and that the internal rubber seal is not damaged or pinched during assembly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No solvent welding required for installation
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • High temperature resistance for varied waste types
  • Meets British Standard kitemark requirements
  • Maintenance-free polypropylene construction

Cons

  • Requires careful deburring of cut ends to prevent seal damage
  • Not suitable for outdoor areas where long-term UV exposure is expected
  • Needs specific allowance for thermal expansion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail for long-term performance. First, use a fine-tooth saw to cut the pipe to the desired length, ensuring the cut is perfectly square. Crucially, you must deburr the edge of the pipe after cutting; a rough edge can damage the internal rubber seals inside the fittings, leading to leaks. When inserting, push the pipe into the fitting, then pull it back by roughly 10mm to allow for thermal expansion of the material. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the pipe surface to maintain its high-gloss finish.
