FAQs

What type of pipe does this bend connect to?

This bend is designed for 21.5mm PVC-U solvent weld pipe.

What is needed to install this fitting?

You will need Wavin Osma solvent cement (or a suitable equivalent for PVC-U) and a clean, dry environment for installation.

Can this be used for hot water overflow?

The product is suitable for general overflow use. For specific high-temperature applications, consult product specifications or Wavin technical support.

Is this fitting flexible?

No, this is a rigid solvent weld fitting designed to create a permanent, non-flexible joint.

What is the purpose of this overflow bend?

It is used to direct overflow water safely away from cisterns, tanks, and condensing boilers.

What are the materials used in this product?

The fittings are manufactured in ABS and the pipe in PVC-U.

Can I use this with other brands of solvent weld pipe?

While it is designed for Wavin Osma systems, it should be compatible with other PVC-U solvent weld pipes of the correct diameter, provided they meet relevant standards.

Troubleshooting

Joint not sealing properly

Ensure surfaces were clean and dry before applying solvent cement. Re-cut pipe if necessary and re-apply cement, ensuring a firm, immediate connection.

Difficulty connecting pipe to fitting

Check for any debris or obstructions inside the fitting socket or on the pipe end. Ensure correct pipe size is being used.

Leak at the joint

The joint may not have been held firmly during the initial set or insufficient solvent cement was used. The joint will need to be cut out and remade.
