Troubleshooting
Joint leakage after installation
Ensure correct application of primer and solvent, and that the pipe was fully inserted and held in place during the initial curing period. Re-joint if necessary.
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Verify that both the pipe end and the socket are clean and free from debris. Ensure correct pipe and fitting sizes are being used.
Reducer cracking or becoming brittle
Check if the system is exposed to extreme temperatures outside the recommended range. Ensure the correct solvent weld system is being used and that no incompatible chemicals are introduced.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a strong and durable connection between different pipe sizes.
- Certified to relevant industry standards for safety and performance.
- Resistant to corrosion, extending the lifespan of the plumbing system.

- ABS material may become brittle in extreme cold temperatures over extended periods.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the 21.5mm pipe end and the 32mm socket are clean and dry.
- Apply Wavin OsmaWeld primer evenly to the outside of the 21.5mm pipe and the inside of the reducer's 21.5mm socket, and similarly for the 32mm pipe and the reducer's 32mm socket.
- Immediately apply Wavin OsmaWeld solvent to the primed areas.
- Insert the pipe fully into the socket with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out, then hold for 30 seconds to prevent push-back.
- Wipe away any excess solvent.
- Allow the joint to cure according to the solvent manufacturer's instructions before testing.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with ABS solvent weld waste pipes.
- Designed to connect 21.5mm pipe to 32mm pipe.
- Suitable for use in BS EN 1455-1 compliant waste water systems.
Care:
